Lawrence Peabody For Nemschoff 1960s Mid Century Love Seat

As followers of Gotcha Modern! know, we are big fans of Lawrence Peabody.  If you are unfamiliar with Peabody's designs, you owe it to yourself to check out - and admire! - his significant body of work.  We recently featured a couple of his fiberglass glass chairs for Selig, and now we're excited to list a piece he designed for Richardson-Nemschoff.

Peabody chairs are seen somewhat regularly, but Peabody sofas are rather scarce - including this dynamite love seat.  This piece came out of an estate with a pair of his upholstered barrel back chairs (in the same fabric!) that you may see on Gotach Modern! soon. 

The love seat has a great angular lines - so very 1960s.  Can't you just see Don Draper splayed on this baby thinking up a catchy slogan?  Peabody also designed an upholstered chair to go along with the love seat with the same great lines.

The love seat is structurally sound and solid.  The fabric appears original, and probably should be replaced, although in a pinch it could suffice.  The foam in the cushions is dry and brittle and should be replaced, too (a very easy thing to do if you want to want to keep the green upholstery).

Perfect size for a studio or where a full size sofa is just, well, too full size!

A wonderful design by a top American designer - at an equally impressive Gotcha Modern! price (check out Peabody's designs - and prices - on 1stdibs). :)

44" long x 28" deep x 33 12" tall
