A four-seat rattan and fabric sectional sofa in the style of Paul Theodore Frank

About the Item

A spacious four-seat sectional sofa crafted from curved rattan and upholstered in fabric manufactured in the 1940s, designed in the style of Paul Theodore Frank. This piece embodies the distinctive lines of American style from the first half of the twentieth century, offering ample modularity and versatility for living room decor. Consisting of four elements of steam-bent rattan, paired with soft cushions, this sofa facilitates the creation of a living area adaptable to any need. The broad and robust side arms not only impart solidity to the piece but also contribute to its imposing aesthetic presence. With their trapezoidal shape, intersected by distinctive lines, they are commonly referred to as "Pretzel," a clear homage to the famous baked product typical of German-speaking countries—a feature easily recognizable from the side view of the sofa. The sofa is in excellent condition, and each element is accompanied by red fabric cushions with black contrasting details. The four-seat composition measures 285x80x84h cm, and each single seat is 62cm in width.
