Vladimir Kagan

Vladimir Kagan, The Complete Kagan:  A Lifetime of Avant-Garde Design, New York, 2004, pp. 97, 120-121 (for similar models)

Overall in very good condition. Likely re-upholstered. With some fading and wear to the textured upholstery. Wear to upholstery concentrated to the top of the sofa. The outer portions of the fabric fibers with the most evidence of fading. The top of the seat with wear and losses to the ends of the fabric. The remaining ends of the fabric have faded elsewhere on the sofa, thus the top seat portions shows slightly darker in person because these ends are worn as seen in the catalogue illustration. Some of the springs to the interior are worn and therefore the sofa is slightly uneven to sit on.
