While often misattributed, American Leisure was Kroehler’s own in-house design, produced to compete directly with Pearsall-style studio pieces in the 1960s.

This 104” sofa is a striking anchor for any mid-century or eclectic-modern living room, with a low-slung profile, exposed walnut arm caps, and the architectural floating sled base that defines the line.

Dimensions:

• Length: 104”
• Depth: 32”
• Back height: 27”
• Seat height: 18”
• Arm height: 21”

Condition: Professionally reupholstered in 2015 in a warm camel/tan textured weave. Frame and sculptural walnut base are original and structurally sound.

Materials: Solid walnut frame and base, reupholstered fabric (2015)

Provenance note: No original Kroehler manufacturer’s tag found; a partial upholsterer’s tag dated 6/15/2015 confirms the reupholstery date. Attribution based on documented Kroehler American Leisure catalog imagery. See less
