About the Item

3-seater sofa by Michel Cadestin for Airborne dating from the 1970s Very well made French manufacturing and design. Variant of the "Orchid" model, this sofa is also called "President" when the back is covered in leather and not in lacquered fiberglass. The "President" model also has more generous proportions, it is higher and wider and the cushions are more filled. One of the last models produced by the Airborne company before their closure. Extremely comfortable, the Airborne company specialized in the manufacture of seats and the use of the famous Bultex foams. The structure is fiberglass and the foam cushions are covered in original black grained leather and covered buttons. It consists of 3 modules mounted on casters and armrests at the ends. This sofa is completely restored, it has been cleaned, repigmented and rewaxed. It has nevertheless kept its patina and its few traces of time. No compromise for this piece of French design which combines aesthetics, comfort and quality.
