Artifort Diplomat Bono Sofa in Blue Kvadrat Wool
Located in Barrowford, GB
On offer on this occasion is a superb, immaculate Artifort “Bono” Large Sofa, dressed in a Peerless top-grade Natural Woven-Wool Fabric in Mid-Blue Kvadrat Woven-Wool fabric.
As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Diplomat masterpiece, Artifort 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, Artifort create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever.
This piece is in superb, beautifully-maintained condition, reflecting the considerate employment it has seen in the past, is almost totally free from fault, flaw or damage. Aside from the odd, isolated mark and some very, very light signs of use, this is as attractive-an-example as you could possibly hope to find.
Please view the images provided to confirm its wonderful condition, breathtaking appearance and nothing-short-of exceptional detailing. It possesses the kind of striking, simple contemporary beauty other pieces of seating can only aspire to.
The dimensions of the sofa are H-72cm, W-205cm and D-80cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously upholstered composite-filled back and seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms.
Costing in excess of £4000 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 £120, 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.
