Shiro Kuramata for Cappellini Sofa With Arms, Pair. Original Price: $8,130

Design Plus Gallery presents a Pair of Sofa with Arms by Shiro Kuramata for Cappellini. The Sofa with Arms is a sculptural seating design that pays homage to the masters of early 20th century Modernism. They are made of chromed tubular metal that support generously padded forms upholstered in a vibrant green fabric. The tubular frame traces fluid, architectural lines, while the cylindrical backrest and broad seat create a balanced, graphic presence. The dynamic lines and the chosen materials define its contemporary style, while the simplicity of its innate elegance is undeniably evocative of the distinctive Japanese style. Kuramata’s approach blends industrial materials with poetic restraint, resulting in seating that feels both forward-thinking and timeless, equally suited for a design-focused interior or as a statement piece in a modern living space. In good condition, visible and minimal wear from usage.

Additional Measurements:
Arm Height – 22 inches
Seat Height – 16 inches
