This 1930s Bauhaus sofa with a chrome-plated steel tube frame and cream leather upholstery shows the design logic of Classic Modernism in precise form. Rounded side cheeks of chrome-plated steel tube enclose the upholstery on both sides. The seat sits low at 40 cm, and the overall height is 66 cm. Two loose cushions in cream serve as back support: a cylindrical neck roll and a flat square cushion, which can be positioned as needed.
At 190 cm wide and 80 cm deep, this Bauhaus sofa works as well as a récamière or day bed as it does as a classic piece of seating. The cream leather has a smooth, carefully maintained surface and is in very good condition. In a living room with period character or in spaces with clean lines, the piece acts as a calm, consistently designed centrepiece.
Made in Germany in the 1930s, this vintage Bauhaus sofa belongs to the generation of design classics that established the interplay of steel tube and upholstery as a language of form in its own right.
