Large Leather (3-seater) Sofa by Søren Nissen & Ebbe Gehl
Dating from the late 1970s, this very large (215cm long) distinctive three-seater sofa, covered in brown (copper-coloured) leather, was designed by the very successful partnership of Søren Nissen (B.1944) and Ebbe Gehl (B.1942).
Raised on nicely shaped ebonised feet in a somewhat Art Deco style frame of robustly padded back and armrests with deep, comfy loose cushions having a leather ‘strap-like’ feature instead of buttoning. This is a rare find in such wonderful, original condition - overall condition is extremely good for a vintage item with only minor scratches and minimal signs of use with no tears to the leather.
Dimensions: Sofa L 215cm H 70cm, D80cm

(A matching chair is available and listed separately - Chair Dimensions H 70cm, D80cm & W95cm
