Very Rare Cognac-Colored Leather Sofa by Jacques Brule, 1963s

Creator: Hans Kaufeld
Offered by: Studio-Schalling-SE

Description
This very rare sofa, designed by Jacques Brule and produced by Hans Kaufeld in Germany in 1963, is a remarkable example of mid-century modern design. The sofa features a distinctive curved frame, upholstered in high-quality cognac-colored leather that has developed a rich patina over time. This leather, with its beautifully aged appearance, contributes to the sofa’s warm, inviting character. The deep, plush cushions rest within a structured shell, offering a balance between comfort and architectural form. The upholstery enhances the overall design, combining luxurious materials with functional design elements.

The base of the sofa is composed of chromed and black lacquered steel, providing a sleek contrast to the warm tones of the leather. The outer structure of the sofa is defined by a continuous metal bar that follows the contour of the piece, adding a refined, industrial elegance. The curved armrests and subtly rounded backrest emphasize the sculptural presence of the sofa, making it both a comfortable seating option and a striking visual element within a room.

The design reflects Jacques Brule’s mastery in blending comfort with architectural form, characteristic of mid-century modern furniture. The sofa is not only functional but also a work of art, combining soft curves and industrial materials to create a piece that is both timeless and innovative.

The sofa has the following dimensions: 220 cm (86.6 inches) in width, 80 cm (31.5 inches) in depth, and 69 cm (27.2 inches) in height, with a seat height of 40 cm (15.7 inches). These dimensions make it a spacious and comfortable seating option, perfect for larger living areas where it can serve as both a functional piece and a striking design statement.
