The Sapporo design is defined by its substantial walnut construction and the contrast between solid architectural framing and soft, deeply cushioned upholstery. Broad wooden side elements flow into the legs with gently rounded edges, while the exposed rear rails emphasise the natural grain and weight of the timber. Generous seat, back and arm cushions soften the geometry and give the group its relaxed proportions. Condition. Good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The original upholstery remains well preserved overall, with light age-related wear and subtle variation consistent with use. The walnut frames show scattered surface scratches, small marks, light scuffs and occasional minor knocks, particularly around exposed edges and lower sections. Some more visible age-related marks are present to the rear wooden rails. The cushions retain a full and comfortable shape, and the seating remains structurally sound.
