About the Item

Exceptional mid-century modern gondola sofa by celebrated designer Josef Otmar, featuring his signature flowing lines and masterful woodworking. This stunning piece showcases the sculptural aesthetic that made Otmar a key figure in American studio furniture of the 1960s-70s. The dramatic sculpted walnut base displays Otmar's expert craftsmanship with sweeping, organic curves that seem to cradle the floating seat. The rich walnut shows beautiful grain patterns and has been carefully maintained, exhibiting the warm patina that only comes with age. The base's fluid form echoes the work of Adrian Pearsall and other masters of the period while maintaining Otmar's distinctive design language. Newly reupholstered in a vibrant yellow fabric that perfectly complements the warm walnut tones. The bold color choice brings fresh energy to this classic silhouette while maintaining the piece's sophisticated mid-century appeal. This piece represents the perfect marriage of form and function that defines the best of mid-century design.
