Dunbar Furniture of Berne, Indiana was one of the most respected American furniture manufacturers of the mid-century period, producing work primarily under the creative direction of Edward Wormley. The tuxedo sofa format was Wormley's signature form for Dunbar, and this example, model TU/S Kind 160/61, is consistent with his design language: a low, clean-lined silhouette with equal arm and back heights, a continuous horizontal profile, and chrome legs that carry the whole composition with a light touch.

The proportions are exactly right, generous enough to be comfortable, restrained enough to hold a room without dominating it.

This example has been fully restored. The upholstery is new black bouclé, a considered choice that works with the chrome legs and gives the piece a current quality without erasing what makes it historically significant. The chrome has been polished and the rubber feet are new. It is ready to live in a home today.

I have two of these sofas available. They can be purchased individually or as a pair, please message me if you are interested in both. 10% discount applied for bundle.
