Large Howard Keith ‘Diplomat' Sofa for HK Furniture in Off-White Velvet, 1970s
About the Item
Impressive large ‘Diplomat sofa in excellent condition.
Designed by Howard Keith for HK Furniture in the 1970s.
This exceptionally large and deep ‘Diplomat’ sofa finds itself at the intersection of art and design.
The sofa has cut away details to the back and the arm rests and has cylindrical chrome and wood legs.
It has been reupholstered in a high quality off-white velvet fabric.
The HK Diplomat was quickly considered a classic sofa design and was sold by retailers such as Harrods. The sofa was included in a Classics exhibition at Heal & Son Ltds London store as early as 1981. They were famously owned by Princess Anne as well as Lord Edward Davenport.
The Diplomat’s low, modernist sleek lines and deep-set seating make them a well sought after piece.
HK created bespoke furniture for the Queen’s Royal Train and the QE2 cruise liner. HK of London designed furniture for the British Parliament and the Royal Bank of England.
