Two-seater bench by Marc Held for Airborne, France, around 1970.

Two-seater banquette designed by Marc Held for Airborne in the 1970s. The model features two moulded foam seats covered in their original red fabric, creating a slightly inclined and enveloping silhouette. The structure rests on a tubular black lacquered metal base, enhanced by chrome spheres at the ends of the armrests, a signature detail of this series. The contrast between the organic softness of the seat volumes and the graphic metal structure perfectly reflects the French modernist aesthetic of the early 1970s. May require restoration, as the fabric and foam show signs of wear. Manufacturer: Airborne, France, circa 1970.
