Rare Vladimir Kagan Barrel Sofa — Circa 1950's

Creator: Vladimir Kagan
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
A sculptural masterpiece from one of the most celebrated modernist designers, the Barrel Sofa by Vladimir Kagan is an exceptional example of his early work from the 1950s. Capturing the postwar optimism of the era, its fluid curves and architectural presence embody the forward-looking spirit that defined mid-century design.

This example is newly upholstered in Sand Bouclé — French for “open loop” — a tactile, nubby fabric that invites touch and adds visual depth. Designed with Kagan’s signature embrace of organic form, the sofa’s sweeping back and rounded arms create an intimate seating arrangement that’s as comfortable as it is striking.

The warm sand tone complements a range of interiors, from minimalist to richly layered spaces. Restored to excellent condition, this early Kagan Barrel Sofa is more than just seating, it’s a rare statement piece that bridges art and design.
