AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This model is a real "design fail" with cult status. Designed as the Swedish answer to the French lounge trend (Michel Ducaroy / Ligne Roset Marsala), production was halted shortly after launch due to color and delivery issues of the covers. Almost the entire production was destroyed at the time—worldwide only a handful of units remain, making this sofa an extremely rare collectible for vintage enthusiasts.

The fabric and the distinctive cushion attachment are completely intact, and the upholstery remains very comfortable. The sofa shows age-appropriate wear in the form of stains.

A major advantage: all covers are completely removable and washable. From the previous owner, apparently one cover had already been washed, which is why it shows a slight color difference compared to the rest (details see pictures). With targeted cleaning of the remaining elements, the appearance can probably be made to match even more.
