Modernist Sofa & Armchair Blonde Maple Scandi Lounge Suite Terence Conran 1970s
A very attractive and rare, solid-Maple-framed 1970s lounge set in lovely vintage condition. Attributed to world-renowned Modernist designer, Sir Terence Conran, this super lounge set features an impressively sized and strikingly attractive low-back three-seater sofa and a comfy and cool matching armchair. This super set will add excellent quality and materials, lovely light, naturalistic colouring and a wonderfully charming, smart-yet-relaxed, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic of Modernist-Minimalist elegance to any interior.
This stunning, high-end lounge set is, reassuringly, extremely heavy, thanks in large part to the eye-catchingly attractive four-sided, stepped and carved show-frames, which enable both pieces to be appreciated from any angle. The solid maple wood displays lovely light golden-blonde colouring and super grain patterning and has traditional joinery plugs, adding an artisan finishing touch to this super, almost-Cubist, Modernist suite.
Effortlessly 1970s and very Scandinavian-Modern-influenced, this gorgeous low-back naturalistic pair exude simplicity-paired-with-style and display gorgeous natural blonde maple colouring paired with the neutral sandy-oatmeal tones of the woven fabric upholstery.
All in all this is a remarkable lounge suite, which will add super quality and colouring and a smart-but-relaxed, Modernist Scandinavian look to any setting.
CONDITION
This lounge suite is in good vintage condition. Structurally sound, sturdy and reassuringly heavy, it is clearly a very high-end suite. There are foot pads to help move both pieces. The solid maple show-frames and legs were crafted to last and have only minor to-be-expected knocks and scuffs to show their age. The suite was reupholstered around 2010 in the sandy-oatmeal woven fabric, complete with arm coverings, which is in good condition with some fading. The original web seating is covered in a loose layer of this fabric, which could be used for extras or sewing touch-ups. The removable seat and back cushion covers and arm covering have all been washed ready for their new home. The only area of notable wear is the rear-side right corner of the sofa, where some of the fabric has worn, but which can only been seen when viewing from behind the sofa. Overall it's a remarkable and strikingly attractive lounge suite in lovely vintage condition and if well looked after it should remain just as gorgeous for generations to come – please see the photos.
