About the Item

A striking example of Scandinavian modern luxury, this “Jupiter” three-seater sofa by Arne Norell combines the timeless appeal of the Chesterfield form with Norell’s signature emphasis on comfort, craftsmanship, and sculptural elegance. Upholstered in sumptuous black leather, the sofa features the classic deep-buttoned back and gently rolled arms, softened by generous proportions for relaxed seating. The “Jupiter” sofa is distinguished by its precise tailoring, reflecting Norell’s attention to structural clarity and human-centered design. The rich patina of the leather enhances its tactile presence while demonstrating the enduring quality of the materials. Designed for both intimate and grand interiors, the sofa seamlessly balances visual weight with a sense of lightness, making it a versatile centerpiece for living rooms, libraries, or refined office settings. Its combination of sculptural form, exceptional comfort, and mid-century Scandinavian craftsmanship makes it a highly collectible design classic.

Rare Indigo Blue Leather ‘ISU’ Sofa by Shigeru Uchida for Pastoe, 1995
By Pastoe
Located in Dronten, NL
A rare and important example of late 20th-century Japanese design, this indigo blue leather ‘ISU’ sofa was designed by Shigeru Uchida in 1995 and produced by Dutch manufacturer Pastoe. Uchida’s minimalist sensibility is beautifully paired with Pastoe’s craftsmanship in a piece that is both sculptural and understated. The sofa features its original indigo blue leather upholstery—a highly uncommon and sought-after colorway—paired with a distinctive black anodized aluminum frame. The monumental aluminum legs emphasize the sofa’s clean lines and low, elegant profile, while the gently curved arms and generous seating reflect Uchida’s refined approach to comfort and proportion. The piece retains its original Pastoe label, confirming authenticity. It is well-preserved with appropriate patina and excellent structural integrity. Works from Uchida’s ISU series seldom surface on the market, especially in this condition, finish, and color. An exceptional acquisition for collectors of Japanese modernism and notable 20th-century furniture, this Uchida for Pastoe ISU...
