European Mid-Century Two Part Sofa in Black Cow Hide, Europe ca 1950s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This unique curved sofa consists of two parts and whether the parts are standing next to each other or together, the design is simple and striking.

The two separate part construction allows for significant versatility; the sofas can be placed close together as an accent piece, or in different parts of a space to tie the aesthetic together. Despite the understated, elegant colours, this model is still an accent piece that stands out thanks to its materials and appearance. The structure relies on an interior frame covered by the upholstered fabric. In contrast to the constructivist models produced by the members of the Bauhaus, this aesthetic is more in favour of a relaxed and welcoming look. The design uses essentially geometric forms that exude warmth by the nature of the materials. The absence of arms and the ergonomic angle at which the seat and back meet creates an impression as if the sofa is opening up, enhancing both the visual and sitting comfort of the design. The crisp lines are ever so softly rounded on the edges adhering to the modernist design idioms, while the wooden lower structure and tapered legs showcase straighter lines. The black cow hide elevates the wide, open surfaces and makes this sofa even more distinctive.

The subtle decorative qualities stemming from the early 20th century art movements and the simple lines deriving from the inter-war art movements give this two-part sofa its elegance. The design brings together the best aspects of the mid-century era, including the materials and craftsmanship, elevated by its visible personality.
