Pfister Sofa and Ottoman
Summary
Celebrated interior designer Charles Pfister, whose personal design philosophy was “restrained elegance,” designed this perfectly proportioned lounge collection in 1971. The modular design offers long-term flexibility, while the timeless appeal and superb craftsmanship of the design reflect Pfister’s firmly held, and forward-thinking belief that: “There is a movement away from throw-away society, away from disposable possessions. Instead there is a mounting interest in useful, sculptural, wonderfully constructed objects … such objects are a triumph in any setting.” The lounge collection is available in standard and petite sizes, as well as sectional configurations.
