The sofas have a white lacquered wooden frame and leather cushions, the coffee table and the cabinet are made of white lacquered wood. The 'Saratoga' is one of the first examples of modular, modern living in the 20th century. In their own words: 'We designed this sofa because we really needed a sofa. And the sofa we wanted was a sofa with an architectural character rather than a soft, smooth object. A sofa that could be placed in the middle of the room. We didn't want it pushed against the walls; we wanted it to move as needed'. Measurements: 210 x 90 x 60 cm three-seater sofa; 270 x 90 x 60 cm four-seater sofa; 90 x 90 x 31 cm coffee table; 65 x 90 x 60 cm cabinet. The condition of the leather is consistent with use and age. The lacquered wood shows some inevitable signs of age and use.
