What is a Dune sofa?
1 Answer
A Dune sofa is not a particular type of sofa. Instead, it is a style name that several furniture makers have given to pieces they have produced. Among these makers are Nor11, Maiden Home and Ralph Pucci. You may also see the word “dune” used to indicate the color of a sofa. In this context, the term likely refers to a sandy beige shade.
Mid-century modern furniture and Space Age design enthusiasts know French designer Pierre Paulin for his low-slung Dune seating collection, which is a favorite of musician Frank Ocean. Paulin’s Dune series features four different interchangeable modules for a custom arrangement.
