Modular ‘Hochbarett’ Sofa by Karl Wittmann, Austria, 1970s
Description: An iconic Hochbarett modular sofa designed by Karl Wittmann in the 1970s. This elegant six-piece configuration exemplifies the designer’s mastery of combining luxurious comfort with clean architectural forms.
Composed of six fully upholstered modules, including corner and armless elements, the sofa offers exceptional flexibility and can be arranged in a variety of configurations to suit different interiors. The generously proportioned cushions and low-slung silhouette create a relaxed seating experience while maintaining a refined and sophisticated appearance.
Upholstered in rich cognac leather, the sofa has developed a beautiful patina over time, highlighting the quality of the materials and craftsmanship. Its modular design, soft rounded volumes and timeless aesthetic make it a standout example of Austrian modernist furniture design.
