About the Item

The Inheritance Sofa by Stephen Kenn is as comfortable as it is unique. The design features an exposed construction composed of three elements - a steel frame, plush upholstery, and supportive belts. The deep seating area is perfect for a relaxing lounge experience. Each seat in this modular sofa set can be used individually or with one or more of the other pieces to create several unique layout combinations. Every Stephen Kenn piece is made to order through our Los Angeles studio in partnership with a number of small businesses and fabricators in the LA area. With this highly customizable sofa, you can select from a wide range of finishes and materials to complement your space and lifestyle - please message us to see our Customization Guide with all available options. This version of our Inheritance Sofa is upholstered in boro material - vintage Japanese family quilts made from scraps of clothing, kimonos, and other household textiles. We source these 100-200 year old quilts and then patch and strengthen them with new indigo-dyed canvas before using them as upholstery material. Each piece is unique and will never be duplicated. This one-of-a-kind piece has been sold. Please contact us to see what boro material we currently have available for your upholstery.
