About the Item
Sofa, brushed steel, fabric, France, 1970s
This sofa is a prime example of the 1970s French design movement, which emphasized modernism and industrial materials, particularly (stainless) steel. The sleek lines and clean geometry are indicative of a minimalistic approach. Key figures in this movement, such as Michel Boyer, Roger Tallon, and Maria Pergay, were known for their innovative use of steel in furniture. Other makers included François Monnet, Jacques Charpentier, Roche Bobois, Maison et Jardin, Xavier Féal, and Pierre Folie.
The overall design is pure and simple, revolving around an architectural structure with its striking horizontal and vertical lines and apertures. The exposed steel base, with its sharp angles and brushed surfaces, contrasts beautifully with the soft fabric upholstery. The rear, sides, and undersides of the piece are designed with equal attention to detail as the front. The sofa’s back and base are encased in steel panels, giving it a striking presence from all angles. The restrained color palette, consisting of the matte brushed steel and neutral-toned fabric in the colors grey, beige and hints of blue, enhances the minimalist feel of the piece. A splendid French modernist design that blends innovative use of materials with a commitment to sleek, geometric forms.
Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of age and use. This includes some stains in the fabric and a few discoloration spots on the metal. Reupholstery is possible before shipping by our experienced craftspeople in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece retains its value and is ready for the many years to come. We kindly ask you to contact our design experts for further information about the endless possibilities our restoration and upholstery atelier has to offer. Of course, a locally organized reupholstery is possible as well.

Sculptural Post-Modern Steel Sofa, France 1980s
Located in Aartselaar, BE
Very unique and unusual sofa. Inspired by the Maria Pergay, Michel Boyer era. Sourced in the south of France. Postmodernism.
The bench is made of multiple materials, creating a beautiful composition. The base of the sofa is made of steel and has a beautifully patinated leather seat. The back of the sofa is made of resin. Due to the green strokes, it is multi-dimensional. Even if it's a functional sofa, it merely looks like a piece of art.
It can both be used as a stand-alone sofa or bench and could be the perfect addition to any residential project, but would also look great in any gallery or high-end retail shop. The minimalist design of this French sofa is perfect for any clientele that wants to create a unique kind of atmosphere. It has a very industrial, apocalyptic, and postmodern feel to it. It is for sure an eye-catcher!
Please note that it is a heavy object.
