The Royalton Sofa is an iconic design by Philippe Starck for the Italian design house Driade. This piece of furniture stands out due to its distinctive high backrest and elegant, curved lines that create a theatrical yet refined silhouette. The sofa is upholstered in a soft, grey velvet fabric that catches the light in a subtle way. The design rests on striking, tapered legs, with the front legs made of polished aluminium and the rear legs of wood. This combination of materials is typical of Starck's postmodern approach in the late twentieth century. The furniture is in a condition consistent with previous use, while the character of the design has been fully preserved. The construction is solid and the original upholstery displays the natural properties of velvet. This sofa functions as a strong architectural element in a room. The design comes into its own particularly well in an eclectic or postmodern interior, where it serves both as a comfortable seating piece and as a sculptural object. The armchair needs a thorough cleaning or reupholstering, because the velvet is really discolored.
