Raphael Raffel “Croissant” Sofa, 1970
Description
Raphael Raffel “Croissant” sofa, leather, France, 1970.
This exceptional “Croissant” lounge sofa, designed by the avant-gardist Raphael Raffel in his French atelier in 1970, embodies such an experience.
Handcrafted from natural-colored leather, the meticulously stitched patchwork evokes a sense of artistry and flow. The sofa offers an indulgence in plush support, perfect for sprawling out and unwinding. And for those seeking a more active seating position, the design cleverly allows for flipping the sofa for a different posture.
Truly the fruition of Raffel’s innovative spirit, the “Croissant” form, reminiscent of a giant, luxurious beanbag, provides ample space for up to three guests. A hidden zipper system allows for easy refilling of the foam in the event that the material gives way naturally, ensuring this “sculpture” remains a cherished companion for years to come.
Beyond its functional brilliance, this lounge sofa is a unique and rare treasure of French design. Our atelier restored and reupholstered the sofa in dark brown full-grain leather. Excellent condition.
