This elegant modular sectional by John Wisner for Ficks Reed comes from the iconic Far Horizons collection, first introduced in 1954. Poised at the intersection of Eastern sensibility and mid-century modernity, the design blends tropical-inspired rattan craftsmanship with clean modern form, resulting in a versatile sectional that’s both sculptural and relaxed. The sofa is composed of four modular rattan segments—three seating units and one integrated end table. This flexibility allows you to configure it as a linear lounge, an L-shaped sectional, or separate chairs paired with a standalone table—the perfect match for dynamic living environments. Constructed in a rich walnut-toned rattan that nearly suggests ebonized depth, each module features refined details: squared backs in pagoda style, campaign-style brass or aluminum accent caps, and secure bamboo-tied joinery. The rattan framework supports plush cushions, making the piece comfortable and visually engaging.
