Banquette Parallel Bar No. 53 Florence Knoll – Cognac Faux Leather 3-Seater

An iconic piece of American design from the 1950s-1960s, this three-seat sofa is an example of the Parallel Bar N°53 model, designed by the great Florence Knoll for Knoll International. An absolute classic of 20th-century design furniture, immediately recognizable by the rigor and elegance of its lines. It consists of three independent modules assembled together, each equipped with a distinct seat cushion and backrest, covered in a beautiful cognac-colored faux leather adorned with a regular square grid tufting, meticulously finished both at the front and back. This all-around finish reflects a design intended for open and institutional spaces, true to Knoll's philosophy. The tubular chrome steel structure, understated and perfectly straight, authoritatively embodies Florence Knoll's formal vocabulary: structural minimalism, quality of execution, and embraced functionality. The piece shows light, consistent, and honorable wear for its age, with no major apparent defects. Overall, it is in very good condition for a collectible piece meant to define its space. Dimensions: L. 210 cm × D. 78 cm × H. 78 cm – Weight: 50 kg. A rare acquisition for the Mid-Century American design enthusiast, suitable for integration into both a characterful residential interior and a professional or reception space.
