Handcrafted Freeform Sculptural Slab Redwood Burl Artisan Sofa, c 1975

An original Warren Platner for Knoll International sofa, designed in 1966 and produced in the late 1960s–1970s.

This settee sofa, also referred to as a double lounge chair, was accompanied with other living room furniture for this collection which included a lounge chair, sofa, chaise lounge and tables.

Included in the photo gallery is a photo of Tue Poulsen with a chair example of the same design.
