It was produced by the renowned Slezákovy závody and has been meticulously restored to its original glory.

The frame is crafted from tubular chrome-plated steel, which has been expertly cleaned and polished. The base includes a flexible wire mesh support, which holds a single-piece mattress that is designed to prevent sagging in the seating area. The legs and a decorative rail are made of beech wood with a revived original polish, adding a warm, natural element to the sleek chrome.

The sofa features new professional upholstery in a period-appropriate houndstooth fabric, ensuring an authentic look and long-lasting durability.
