Constructed with a solid walnut frame, the sofa includes an upholstered seat, backrest and armrests for enhanced comfort. Its silhouette—inspired by the refined taste of the Louis XV era—is defined by sinuous, enveloping lines. The wide, gently outward-curving armrests invite relaxation, while the contoured backrest, with its undulating, wave-like form, lends a graceful, light dynamism to the piece. The entire structure rests on delicate, shaped wooden legs—a refined detail that accentuates its lightness and formal elegance. It is upholstered in a fabric with a warm, inviting salmon/peach hue, featuring a dense, understated geometric micro-pattern that creates a charming contrast with the warm, natural grain of the wood.

A small settee with timeless appeal, it is a furnishing piece suited to elegant interiors full of character. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it is highly versatile and well-suited for various settings—from the living room or study to a bedroom or entryway. As the back is also fully upholstered, the sofa can even be placed in the centre of a room.

The wood is in excellent condition; the fabric shows some small, faint spots on the seat, and the upholstery remains in good condition, though it is no longer perfectly firm. The sofa can also be customised with new upholstery.

Seat height: 18.9 in (48 cm). See less
