Mid-century modern is to-the-point and no-nonsense, much like the straightforward interior style, which championed notions of functionality, ease and modern simplicity. This three-seater sofa, with its perfectly balanced aesthetic is a beautiful example of the movement.

This curved, so-called banana sofa is focused on the aesthetics of modern design whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen known as cabinetmakers. The visual appearance of this sofa echoes European mid-century refinement and directs the eyes to the voluptuous body, that is the result of the exquisite craftsmanship. The curved and organic lines of the design create an elegant silhouette, whilst the crisp lines “disappear” into the soft wool blend upholstery that uniquely covers the entire body, including the legs as well. This creates an almost ethereal impression, pushing the design into the realm of art. At the same time, mid-century European cabinetmakers held functionality above all else, therefore the enveloping back, and the ergonomic curves are in service of the ultimate lounging experience. The sofa’s generous proportions and upholstery provide great visual and sitting comfort. The upholstery dominates the look and the visible absence of ornamentation serves the purpose of highlighting the luxurious texture of the material and the cosy outline of the design. The design can be incorporated into contemporary and traditional interiors, lending itself to a timeless and universal appeal.

The historic movement of mid-century modern continues to permeate our sense of what’s contemporary. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this unique sofa is truly elegant and timeless.
