The latest knockout piece to make its way to the store is this sofa by Poul Cadovius for France & Son. It's a newly refinished woven teak case sofa with brand new nubby orange upholstery, and it is going to knock your socks off.
My SIL has just set up a space for taking photos in what was formerly a storage room at the back of the store. I'm loving the new look of his images. Good job, Joe!

I'm getting so much spam too. That is such a good looking sofa. xx
ReplyDeleteThe school district I work for part-time captured 1.5 million pieces of spam last week. What's the deal?
DeleteI really love the way the sofa turned out. I had bought that bolt of fabric for myself, but I bought a new sofa, so I let my SIL use it. He said there's enough left for a chair, so I think I'm going to use it to cover the striped recliner and ottoman I posted about when I redecorated my house.
Same, I have tightened comments too! ...back to this sofa! The fabric is very special and an excellent choice for the arm chair, I look forward to that!
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about the chair done in this fabric, the more excited I become about it. I think it will cure what ails that chair entirely. :)
DeleteWhat a great sofa!! I love the fabric colour! Super classy piece of furniture.
ReplyDeleteMy spam is out of control too so I am keeping the comment moderation on for the time being too. x
Anything orange is cool, as far as I'm concerned. I can't get enough of it.
DeleteSorry to hear about your spam problems too. It wonder what's causing the huge surge.
I may have to try to make this one in miniature...No trouble with spam here though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat sofa would be so cute in miniature! I'd love to see you do that.
DeleteThat sofa is stunning Dana. I had the cushions on our couch re-upholstered in a very similar fabric - a copy of an original Australian upholstery fabric from the 50's/60's. Nubby too. Gotta love orange. I love the legs on this one.
ReplyDeleteNo spam for me, my little blog's too small to warrant it I guess.
Take care Dana, I'll pop by again when I finish my 'homework' x
Nubby AND orange? That's a combination that's tough to beat.
DeleteHurry back. Your presence is required for a quorum. :)
Am I the only one interested in where you purchased the Nubby AND Orange fabric? There are a couple of upholstery jobs waiting for Wonder Woman's touch. Lack of proper fabric is the sticking point. Is it a secret or can you divulge?
ReplyDeleteI bought 22 yards of it on eBay for a song. I also find a lot of good buys online from Winterbeachmodern and Modern Fabrics. Miles at Winterbeach is a super nice guy!
DeleteWow, what an amazing piece of furniture, wish I could ship it across the Atlantic...
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it's been since it made its original trip across the Atlantic to the United States.
DeleteThere's a seller on Ebay under Alpine out of NC? I think that has some nice deals and they will send you swatches for $1 each so you can see and feel before committing. I used them for the 50's kidney sectional I have in house and saved a ton of money!
ReplyDeleteI went back and checked my eBay feedback, and Alpine is the seller I got it from.
DeleteThis is fabulous Dana! I am in love x Tina
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in love with it too! :)
DeleteI recently picked up a three seat sofa of the same style in teak...I'm a noobie to mid century modern furniture...How much is something like this really worth? Many thx, steve
