About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Bentwood Sofa by Jan Bočan, Czech Republic, 1970s This striking bentwood two-seater sofa was designed by renowned Czech architect and designer Jan Bočan in the 1970s. A prime example of Czechoslovak modernist design, it masterfully blends sculptural lines with a functional, comfortable form. The frame features beautifully curved bentwood arms and legs, creating a continuous, flowing silhouette that is both elegant and architectural. The side profile reveals a wave-like motion in the design—typical of Bočan's attention to form and balance. The warm wood tones offer an inviting contrast to the soft beige upholstery. The sofa retains its original vintage fabric, a velour-like textile in a neutral beige tone. However, the fabric shows strong traces of use, including noticeable discoloration, creasing, and wear, particularly on the seating surfaces. While it is structurally sound and fully functional, reupholstery is strongly recommended to restore the piece to its full visual potential. Generously cushioned and comfortable, this piece is ideal for a stylish reading nook, studio, or statement corner in any mid-century or contemporary space. It embodies the spirit of 1970s Czech design and would appeal to collectors and design enthusiasts alike. Dimensions (cm): Width: 139 Depth: 75 Height: 75 Seat Height: 42 Condition: Fair vintage condition. Original upholstery shows strong wear and signs of age. Frame is solid and in good structural shape. Recommended for restoration.
