Product description
This minimalist mid-century modern three-seater sofa was designed by Gijs van der Sluis and manufactured by his own company, Van der Sluis Stalen Meubelen, in Culemborg, The Netherlands, during the 1960s.
Often compared to contemporary designs by Martin Visser for 't Spectrum, this specific model is highly sought after by collectors for its distinct, hyper-minimalist frame profile.
Unlike common square tube designs, this sofa features a premium frame constructed from rectangular steel tubing.
The frame is ingeniously rotated so that the narrowest side faces forward.
This engineering choice provides absolute structural integrity while creating an incredibly light, sleek, and floating visual effect when viewed from the front.
This is the rare non-folding, fixed-seat variant, which offers a firmer and more consistent seating comfort than the daybed versions.
Condition Report:
The sofa was professionally reupholstered some time ago in a premium, high-quality vibrant red wool fabric by the renowned Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat.
While the upholstery has been gently used, it remains in very good, clean, and beautiful condition with no tears or notable wear.
The minimalist black metal frame shows normal, age-appropriate wear and patina, adding to its authentic vintage character.
The structure has no defects and is completely sturdy.
