At least three sizes … more The "Carousel" fiberglass sofa was designed by Elsie Crawford in 1969 for Sintoform's "Architectural Fiberglass" line. At least three sizes were made, including a 4, 6, and 8-seater unit. Although multiple colorways were offered, most of the units you'll see online are plain white. This listing, however, is for the rare example of an original condition, vibrant orange, 6-person sofa with a spacious built-in planter.

Originally designed for use in shopping malls, bowling alleys, and a variety public spaces, the eye-catching space age design of these units allows them to fit a wide range of uses both indoor and outdoor. We styled this sofa as the centerpiece of a poolside patio in the photos above, but it would look just as great in a commercial lobby, museum, or arcade.

This incredible item was recovered in Sarasota, FL by The Dust Shuttle on our latest cross-country picking road trip. We will be happy to help arrange shipping anywhere in the world. Assistance is only a message away. Thanks for looking and enjoy your day! less

It was meticulously recovered after the unit had been painted white some decades ago. In the photos you will see some scuffs and light wear to the gel-coat, particularly around the center band of the unit. This wear was revealed as we stripped the sofa back to its gel coat and is all light surface wear original to the piece. It was not damaged in restoration, rather these scuffs were likely what lead someone to paint it in the past. There are a couple small (smaller than a dime) sized chips to the fiberglass and a small indent on the meridian where the two halves of the shell were merged in construction. As shown in the photos these issues are not very significant. There are no extraneous fibers and no damage that impacts the function or sturdiness of the piece. Just cosmetic wear from its 54 years in the public domain. We have not touched up any of the scuffs as some might enjoy the patina, but if the buyer would prefer we could have them professionally painted over. less
