A Sofa from the Jet Set Age

Jetset
The Jet Set is very similar to mid-century inspired designs seen at other retail establishments, complete with the desired tapered wood legs. However, what makes this one different and covetable are the paneled upholstered arms. This detail emphasizes the sharp geometric shaping of this piece while also bringing in some soft, slight curves. I also think the choice of color is phenomenal. The cool yellow, bordering on gold, enhances the rich luxurious look of the piece. While some mid-century designs are beautiful, maintaining those geometric lines sometimes results in a thin, flat seating surface; but not the Jet Set, the slightly overstuffed bench cushion makes it clear that that is not the case here. This sofa looks highly inviting and as I said before...highly covetable.
