Sofa designed to Vladimir Kagan’s specification in 1952, and typifying the designers mid-century design ethos that looked to reductions of form and exterior complexity whilst amplifying sophistication and sex appeal. The ‘Serpentine’ sofa was one of the earliest of Kagan’s successful pieces after opening his New York firm at just 22 — its long, low positioning and subtle use of curvature lending a distinction that redraws the furniture as a sculptural centrepiece within the living space.
