Vienna Secession Sofas

VIENNA SECESSION STYLE & WIENER WERKSTÄTTE

At the turn of the 20th century, Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann and several of their peers separated from the predominant Association of Austrian Artists to form a new professional union, the Vienna Secession.

The artists’ intent to break free from classical traditions in fine art evolved to encompass applied arts and interior design as well: In 1903, Hoffmann and Koloman Moser founded the Wiener Werkstätte, or "Viennese Workshop," to produce progressive furniture, ceramics, glass and textiles.

This talented collective of Austrian artists, architects and designers most famously created works in the Jugendstil style — the German branch of Western Europe's popular Art Nouveau. Jugendstil is associated with dynamic, rhythmic forms and undulating lines.

On 1stDibs, discover the sophisticated Vienna Secession furniture, art and decorative objects — ranging from watercolor paintings and prints to serveware and seating — that transformed Austria over one hundred years ago and maintain timeless appeal today.

Paul Laszlo Attributed Curved Sectional Sofa Reupholstered in Pink Ikat Fabric
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This modular lightly curved sectional sofa attributed to Paul Laszlo features three sections that can be arranged in several different ways, reupholstered in a gorgeous pink and plum colored ikat fabric which is in excellent like-new condition, only lightly used in a showroom setting and ready to be placed in a high-end luxury interior. What makes this sofa so great? Well - there are many, first the shape and silhouette is just incredible - just look at the side profile photos in this listing. Whether you put all 3 pieces together to form one long sofa monumental enough to sit 4 to 5 people or you can separate the sections - you can have a spacious loveseat large enough to sit 3 people and separate wide lounge chair big enough to sit 2 people or place all three sections separately across the room, the slightly curved shape with channel tufted mid and upper back sections sitting atop thin wood feet look so incredible. The large oversized padded arm wrests are comfortable and look great. The deep seated and plush seat cushions allow you to sit back and watch TV in comfort or take a long cozy nap. And last but not least - the fabric is just so special... the pink, plum and white ikat fabric is so on-trend for high end interior design.
