Vitra Alcove High Back Sofa by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec 2008

$1,995List Price

About the Item

Design Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2008 Tubular steel, metal, MDF, polyurethane foam, upholstery Made in Germany by Vitra The central idea behind the Alcove sofa is that a sofa can be much more than just a piece of furniture. This is especially true of the Alcove Highback sofa, whose side and back panels tower over the heads of those sitting in it. Sitting within the Alcove Highback, you cannot be seen or heard from the outside, and find yourself in a secluded space. Thanks to the outstanding acoustic qualities of the Alcove Highback sofa and its function as a visual screen, it creates a truly peaceful oasis - especially in spacious living areas. This effect is even more pronounced when two sofas are positioned face to face, thereby defining a room within a room and you will note we have a second identical sofa available separately in our 1stDibs showroom this week. Also note the zipper function. The two brothers, Ronan and Erwan, have been working together since 1999. Their collaboration is a constant dialogue, nourished by their single identities and strived towards a common goal. Today, the Bouroullec brothers work with numerous manufacturers such as Vitra, Cappellini, Issey Miyake, Magis, Ligne Roset, Habitat and the Kréo Gallery. They were named "Creator of the Year" in 2002, elected "Designer of the Year" in 2003 and have won multiple other awards. Their creations have been exhibited in many collective or solo exhibitions and are part of some permanent museum collections around the world. The color scheme (Hermes orange and brownish gray as shown) is magnificent as you can see from the pictures. We are based on the East Coast and understand that shipping can be expensive but we may be able to help. Feel free to reach out if you are looking for an alternate shipping quote.
