Stellar Block Island Collection Cane Sofa by Hutton for Donghia - Pair Available

About the Item

This magnificent sofa is shipped as professionally photographed and described in the listing narrative: Meticulously professionally restored and ready for upholstery. Expert custom upholstery service is available. There is a match pair of these unusual sofas available. A breathtaking sofa from the limited production Block Island collection designed by John Hutton (1947-2006) for Donghia, circa 1995. This seating series is Hutton's graphic, highly textural interpretation of the work of Jean-Michel Frank. Examples from this particular collection are nearly impossible to find for sale. Mr. Hutton was the firm design director from 1978-1998 and was responsible for many of the now iconic Donghia designs produced during that period. While Hutton's talent was always recognized within design and architectural circles, this influential modern designer's work has finally become more commonly appreciated by the mainstream. Stout mahogany frame construction veneered in block patterned Rush style cane. Mahogany accents finished in black lacquer. Aged to perfection. Exceptional quality and craftsmanship - built like a battleship. A textural organic focal point intened to anchor a cherished space. Excellent Restored Condition. The sofa has been professionally cleaned and re-lacquered. All cane veneer is intact and complete. The arm height is 23 inches. There is a matching pair of club chairs available in a separate listing. Retains the Maker mark. Expert custom upholstery service is available. There is a match pair of these sofas available; the price listed is for one (1) sofa.

Vintage Donghia Yellow Stripe Spirit Sofa by John Hutton
By John Hutton, Donghia
Located in Topeka, KS
Incredible spirit sofa by John Hutton for Donghia. This one is in its original yellow striped fabric and fabulous condition, circa 1990s. The dust cover has been replaced. This sofa is simply wonderful! It was designed by John Hutton for the prestigious Donghia Furniture, a to-the-trade only supplier to interior designers and architects. This sofa, named Spirit, and part of the Enchanted collection was inspired by the ghostly shapes of furniture draped in sheets in homes during extended periods of being uninhabited. John Hutton’s furniture designs are at the same time Classic and modernistic especially depending upon the fabric chosen to “clothe” them. This sofa takes on a more Classic feel with the yellow, army green and cream traditional stripe adorning its modernistic and angular share. I’m sure you are drooling over this sofa right now. We also have the companion chaise longue listed on our storefront as well. I know you...
