About the Item

Hello Friends, and welcome to another unmissable offering from Lord Browns Furniture, the UK’s premier resource for fine Sofas and Chairs. On offer on this occasion is quite possibly one of the most-desirable and sought-after large-scale sofas available today, it being a rare opportunity to acquire a gorgeous “Formentera” sofa, from the world renown French furniture house of Roche Bobois, and benefitting from the most neutral, flexible, neutral woven-chenille fabric covering, with numerous complimenting and contrasting scatter-cushions in plain, patterned silks and velvets. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Tapinassi and Manzoni-designed masterpiece, Roche Bobois pieces are the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard. In a world of temporary pleasures, Roche Bobois create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever, and there can be no-better expression of that philosophy than this doyen of the seating-world Dressed in this most-impressive, high-grade, thick, plush, tactile and satisfying fabric option which, as you will see, possesses the elegant, demure appearance these pieces are famed for. Whilst being as robust and durable as rhino skin, the softness and texture of this chenille-fabric is simply divine to the touch. A tactile-experience like few others. This piece is in superb, original, impeccably-maintained condition, having seen light, irregular use in the family-area of its previous home. It does show modest signs of use, and has the odd light mark and blemish present as you might expect so is definitely not perfect but, honestly, in my experience is as good as any Formentera you could ever hope to find of this type on the second-user market. Please view the images provided to confirm its superb, original condition and breathtaking appearance. A more wonderfully-executed example of modern, informal seating is difficult to imagine, and is a truly accomplished and talented all-rounder. In its current fantastic condition, it would clearly meet the requirements of all but the true-perfectionist but, for someone looking for a piece of high-design to position at the heart of family life, it is truly heaven sent! This superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy, and is dressed in some of the most unashamedly-luxurious and satisfying fabrics imaginable. This sublime piece measures H-80cm, W-380cm x D-200cm, so hope this is helpful regarding understanding its significant-scale. The breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously-upholstered back and seat cushioning (which, as the images will confirm, is particularly soft and squishy), which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Famously comfortable beyond compare. Costing in excess of £12,000 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come. Delivery of this piece to most UK mainland addresses will cost £240, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers. Should I be able to help you further, feel free to call or message me. For important payment, shipping, returns, cleaning and contact information, please read the information provided. Warm regards, Daniel.
