Italian Postmodern Black Leather Sofa in Métaphores Velvet, 1980s

Everyone walked right past this sofa and we almost did too. That would have been a shame, no?

The original ’80s cushions weren’t doing it any favors, but something made us stop. First, we noticed the slender legs, then the smooth black saddle leather. And then that shape. The longer we stood there, the harder it was to imagine leaving without it.

We’d had a particular Métaphores velvet on our minds for quite a while, and this felt like the piece we’d been saving it for. Velvety rusty red, with a pattern that makes us think of a glamourous ’70s nightclub. Against the black leather and that unmistakably ’80s silhouette, it makes for a clash we can’t quite stop looking at.

Reupholstering the cushions was all we had to do. The sofa is otherwise in excellent condition, and you can tell its previous owners took good care of it.
