This comfortable sofa has been fully reconditioned and reupholstered in a black and brown patterned Dedar velvet. This jacquard velvet has an abstract irregular labyrinth pattern inspired by the stylized language of Cubism and wild animal skins in natural tones. The six black lacquered steel legs are positioned at an angle, giving the sofa a striking, slightly tilted appearance.
