Nice minimalistic model 442/3 sofa designed by Pierre Paulin and manufactured by Artifort, The Netherlands 1962. This is for a three-seater sofa model 442/3 which is the largest from these series, a sofa in quality black leather and matt chrome plated steel legs. The solid steel legs have a slim appearance which looks very classy and minimalistic at the same time. The legs appear to run through the upholstered body which is a beautiful detail in the aesthetics of this design. The black leather upholstery has an amazing patina with any noticeable wear, it is still very strong and smooth. The feather padded cushions have some fixed buttons which give them a tufted look and keeps the filling in place. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
