Note: This sofa is currently undergoing restoration at Hobbs Modern. The photographs shown reflect its current in-progress condition and are intended to illustrate the form and scale of the piece.

Few furniture designers captured the spirit of American modernism with the same sense of movement and sensuality as Vladimir Kagan. Throughout his career, Kagan rejected rigid geometry in favor of organic forms that invited conversation, comfort, and interaction. His iconic serpentine sofas remain among the most recognizable seating designs of the twentieth century, prized for their flowing silhouettes and remarkable ability to anchor a room.

This exceptional Vladimir Kagan Serpentine Sofa is an extraordinary oversized example, measuring an impressive 135 inches long. Its sweeping curved profile creates an architectural presence rarely found in contemporary seating, making it equally suited for expansive living rooms, luxury residences, hospitality spaces, or statement interiors. The generous proportions comfortably accommodate multiple guests while encouraging conversation through Kagan’s signature sculptural curves.

One end terminates in a dramatic 48-inch diameter circular lounge section, creating the perfect place to stretch out with a book or gather around a coffee table. Rather than simply providing seating, the sofa becomes the architectural centerpiece of the room, defining the surrounding space with its graceful, uninterrupted silhouette.

The low-slung profile reflects Kagan’s philosophy that furniture should appear to float effortlessly within a room. With a 15.5-inch seat height and a generous 24.5-inch seat depth, it offers the relaxed comfort that has made Vladimir Kagan’s designs favorites among collectors, interior designers, and architects for decades.

As part of our restoration process, the upholstery has not yet been completed, giving the future owner the unique opportunity to customize the sofa to their exact specifications.

Whether your vision calls for luxurious mohair, rich bouclé, textured wool, performance fabric, or premium leather, our in-house upholstery team can tailor the sofa to complement your interior. We are happy to work with your preferred fabric, assist in sourcing the perfect textile, or upholster the piece in Customer’s Own Material (COM). Cushion density, piping details, and other finishing touches can also be discussed to create a truly bespoke presentation.

Once completed, this monumental Kagan sofa will be professionally restored to the highest standards while preserving the integrity of the original design. Large-scale examples of this iconic model are increasingly difficult to source, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy statement piece customized specifically for your home.
