About the Item

Howard Keith for HK Furniture, 'Diplomat' sofa, patinated leather, United Kingdom 1970s Howard Keith for HK Furniture, 'Diplomat' sofa, strong patinated leather, chrome-plated steel, United Kingdom, the 1970s. This grand voluptuous 'Diplomat' sofa finds itself at the intersection of art and design. The sofa is executed in patinated brown leather and rests on cylindrical-shaped chrome legs. The large seating area and the thick leather cushions make it a true delight to have an enjoyable time while sitting on it. This particular sofa's artistry ensures that it can be placed as a visual statement in the room. Well-proportioned brown patinated leather lounge sofa; the patina of the leather is warm and beautiful. Extremely comfortable, chic, and highly indicative of the British 1970s glamorous design period. This large lounge sofa would make an eye-catching addition to any interior, such as a living room, family room, screening room, or office. It also perfectly fits in a hospitality or corporate location like a boutique hotel lobby, cocktail bar, members club, or luxury loft—some strong patina on the leather but in excellent vintage condition. When you choose for used midcentury design, you use what is already there, making it sustainable. You may not give the furniture a second, but even a third or fourth life. Midcentury design furniture is often a high-quality product that lasts several lives for a reason. Some furniture has a rich history, and the story is still visible or tangible with some. The signs of wear give a glimpse into the previous owner's life.
