Superbe vintage couch

We finally decided on a couch for our main room and whoopee! it arrived last night. After trawling the streets of Paris and being repeatedly deflated by the inflated price tags of vintage sofas, I found a German website selling wonderful retro furniture and household bits. I fell in love with this old beauty and luckily enough the owner, a kind German man named Horst, was happy to drive halfway across Europe to deliver it last night (which of course, sounds much further than it really is). The sofa was designed in the 50s by Knoll Antimott and has been lovingly restored by Horst to almost new condition, retaining its original upholstery and beautiful frame. I plan to spend the next few days making some cushions for the arms, but here are some initial pictures from last night and I will update with more shortly. Bisous x
