The combination of wood, steel, and fabric reflects Zalszupin's mastery of blending industrial and organic elements. The sleek metal frame pairs beautifully with the warm wooden legs and olive-green upholstery, while integrated side tables with wooden frames and white inlays add both practicality and visual appeal. The legs of the sofa are particularly striking, showcasing a unique contrast between the aged, slightly rusted steel components and the rich, dark wood. This interplay of textures creates a sculptural quality that enhances the overall design. A unique feature of this piece is its adaptable seating units. The chairs are not fixed and can be lifted and rotated to face either direction, allowing for a dynamic setup that adapts to your space or needs. Additionally, the magazine holder at the end of the structure can be completed in-house with a custom leather insert, restoring its full functionality and charm.
