AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

“Floating” base design: The subtly recessed metal sled base or legs make the sofa appear to float—a feature that contributes to its light, airy appearance.

In 1976, Gijs Papavoine began developing his design philosophy at Montis: “powerful basic forms, characterized by simplicity and elegance.” With the Axel in 2005, he created a modern classic—a “Dutch seating landscape” that brings together minimalist design and unparalleled comfort.

This example is upholstered in “Trinidad taupe” leather from the Montis collection, a beautiful addition to this sofa.

The sofa is in excellent condition. It has hardly been used and was only sold because it wouldn’t fit in the elevator at the new house... As can be seen in the photos, which also form part of the description.
