Product Details
Description
On offer on this occasion is superb, immaculately-presented example of an icon of contemporary seating-design, it being a huge "Michel" Composition L-Shape sectional-sofa and matching chaise and footstool (consisting of an 9MF182TD sofa unit, a 9MF156CHS chaise unit - capable of making a 4-seat L-Shape Sofa - a 9MF91PQ ottoman unit, and a "Frank F58P" oval ottoman) from the world renown Italian furniture house of B&B Italia, beautifully upholstered in a luxurious sage green velvet, a tone that balances contemporary sophistication with timeless warmth. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Antonio Citterio masterpiece, B&B Italia pieces are the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard. Renowned for their precision engineering and peerless comfort, B&B Italia pieces embody the finest in Italian design. This model features deep, generously cushioned seating, a low modern silhouette, and sleek black metal legs, creating a perfect harmony of style and function. In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. Groundbreaking design never goes out of fashion, and that is never more true than in the case of this pre-eminent Antonio Citterio creation. Much imitated across the ensuing years, there has been nothing to truly equal the "floating" original and, when particularly dressed in this most versatile and luxurious high-grade velvet fabric option in an elegant, demure neutral hue, are as rare as hen's teeth on the second-user market. Spectacularly sought-after as the softness and texture of this cloth is simply divine to the touch, and remains the perfect blend of luxury and beauty. A life-changing piece of furniture for those who pine for large-scale contemporary seating but, due to irreconcilable access-issues, have previously only been able to dream of employing such a whopper. As this piece splits into 2 easy-to-install sections, this colossus is able to be manoeuvred, positioned and used in any room capable of accommodating its acres of handsome-ness. This configuration is in gorgeous, impeccably-maintained condition, having seen light, infrequent use across the time since it was purchased and, as you would expect from a piece of such fine order, is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage, and is as immaculately-presented as you could hope for. For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm the superb condition and appearance of this suite. Truly a joy to behold. Whilst it could not be considered truly-perfect (it has been used before after all), it is guaranteed to meet the requirements of all but the most-strict of perfectionists and, for someone looking for a piece of peerless modern design and execution to position at the heart of their home, it is truly heaven sent! Without question, this superb suite possesses all the beauty and majesty you would expect from the finest contemporary furniture money can buy.
Dimensions-wise, the measurements of this beautiful "L" Shape are H-70cm, W-268cm and D-156cm, with the square ottoman measuring H-40cm, W-90cm and D-90cm and the smaller oval "Frank" stool measuring H-40cm, W-58 and D-40cm.
