Kwok Hoi Chan for Steiner, sectional sofa, model "chromatic", Kvadrat fabric, France, 1970.
This Chromatic sofa was designed by Kwok Hoi Chan in 1970 for Steiner. This seamless seating system consists of five elements.
Originally each piece was upholstered in a different color and you can still see pieces of old fabric colors on bottom. At some point, it was upholstered in a faux suede yellow fabric and, at the moment, it shows several dirty stains (due to unprofessional shippers). They look like they could be professionally cleaned.
Depth for each piece is 37.5".
The curvaceous construction of the element, accentuated by the vertical lining in the upholstery, evokes the image of a cascade. Maximum comfort is guaranteed.
Kwok Hoi Chan (1939 – 1987) was a Chinese architect and interior designer. He studied University of Architecture, Hong Kong. He was an emblematic figure of international design who emigrated from Hong Kong to England and France. In France, he paired up with the Parisian manufacturer Steiner. Even though Chan was deeply invested in European and international design, he has always stayed loyal to his Chinese origins. His furniture resembles an imaginary alphabet borrowed from Chinese calligraphy. Notable interior design projects included furniture for Air India and the IBM offices in Hong Kong. In 1966-68, Chan worked in a London design studio, contributing to the interiors of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth II. He subsequently, designed for Spectrum, the Netherlands. He created many unique works including the Zen chair, the cantilever in tubular steel with leather-covered thermoplastic material, an Alligator lounge chair, a Chromatic range, and a Zen chair, all produced by Sieges Steiner, France.
