Fine details such as the buttoned seat back and buttoned loose cushions, Mahogany bracket back legs and classic tuxedo styling have made this the quintessential 1950s American Mid-Century Modern sofa for collectors, connoisseurs and interior designers alike.

The "Bracket Back" or also named "Ladder Back" sofa by Dunbar has been previously attributed to Edward Wormley by repute, however as documented in the vintage advertisement (shown in last photo in this listing), the design is credited to Roger Sprunger for Dunbar.

The leather color is a medium brown, but can also be described as caramel brown and also close to what is called "cognac" brown with hints of orange and red. The leather has a smooth hand-feel and with a satin-sheen has moderate reflectivity to light.

This classic Roger Sprunger for Dunbar Furniture model #133 sofa would work great in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
