The design has all the hallmarks of post-war British modernism, with beautifully slim proportions, tapered legs, long sculpted armrests and an open spindle back hidden behind the cushions. The exposed timber framework gives it a particularly light and architectural appearance. The sofa incorporates a folding reclining mechanism , allowing the backrest to lower and transform the piece from a three-seater sofa into a generous daybed / occasional sleeping space. The internal construction can be seen in the photographs, including the original-style webbing support system and spindle back. Finished with two substantial upholstered cushions in a neutral oatmeal/beige textured fabric, which works particularly well against the warm tone of the white oak. At 198cm wide , this is a substantial statement piece while retaining the clean, low-profile proportions associated with 1960s furniture.
