ABOUT PRODUCTID 28594
This sofa, designed by Rudolf Bernd Glatzel for Kill International in the 1960s, is a refined example of German mid-century modernism where craftsmanship meets disciplined proportions. The construction features a solid cherry wood frame in a warm, medium-brown hue with a satin finish. The upholstery is genuine black leather with a matte surface, covering the seat, backrest, armrests, and frame. The straight, squared legs are connected by horizontal supports, reinforcing the sofa’s geometric simplicity and stability. Slightly angled armrests and a gently reclined backrest reflect the ergonomic priorities of the era. Details such as clean stitching and the absence of visible hardware testify to the high level of workmanship. The sofa is in very good restored condition—new upholstery and refreshed wood harmonize with the authentic character of the 1960s. This piece echoes the spirit of postwar Germany, where design valued rationality, comfort, and noble materials. The form is restrained and balanced, suggesting that luxury derives not from extravagance, but from refined functionality and durability. The leather’s subtle sheen and natural creasing evoke images of quiet evenings at home, where the sofa serves as a discreet yet supportive backdrop to daily life. The sofa can be paired with a low teak or glass coffee table to highlight the material contrast typical of mid-century modern interiors. It works well alongside minimalist floor lamps—graphite or brass
