This is the Raffles sofa, an iconic design by Vico Magistretti for the Italian brand DePadova. The design is a modern interpretation of classic, comfortable furniture from the colonial era, characterized by a relaxed and inviting appearance. The sofa is made with a wooden frame and is upholstered with a removable fabric cover in a light grey color. A characteristic detail of the Raffles design are the legs: two straight wooden legs at the back and two turned wooden legs with castors at the front, which gives the sofa a unique character and mobility. The construction is focused on comfort, with deep seats and soft cushions. This specific sofa is offered as a 'fixer-upper'. The sofa was purchased 24 years ago at Co van der Horst. The basic structure is present, but the upholstery and cushions show signs of use and age, offering an excellent opportunity for a reupholstery project. With new fabric, this design classic can be completely renewed to your own taste and given a second life. The sofa must be moved from the 7th floor externally with a moving lift. Thanks to its timeless and versatile aesthetic, the Raffles sofa fits into various interior styles, from classic to modern eclectic. It is a piece of furniture that brings both comfort and a piece of design history into the living space.
