Description from the seller
Iconic 'Penguin' Sofa – Pierre Mazairac & Karel Boonzaaijer for Young International | Black Leather | 1980s
Description
Offered: an original 'Penguin' sofa (model 905), designed by the renowned Dutch design duo Pierre Mazairac & Karel Boonzaaijer for Young International in the 1980s.
This postmodern design classic is instantly recognizable by its distinctive curved steel arm structures, which evoke the shape of penguin wings. The back is also embossed with the perforated "Young" logo in the leather, a special detail that has rarely been preserved in such beautiful condition.
The sofa is upholstered in black leather and is in neat, original condition. The leather has a lovely natural patina, with some scratches and normal light signs of use consistent with its age. The seat has not sagged; the sofa is firm and comfortable.
