Wide angled 'Janus' sofa by Edward Wormley. This sofa has a modern shape and sinuous lines which create a comfortable and appealing look. The open structured mahogany base makes a nice contrast with the bulky look of the seat. The curved shaped of this sofa gives it a more intimate appearance. 

Edward Wormley (1907–1995), was born in rural Illinois, United States. As a young man, he was passionate about design and enrolled in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1926, but left due to financial issues and began working for an interior design company. He later joined the Dunbar Furniture Company in Indiana, where he served as director of design for almost 40 years. Following World War Two, he became an independent design consultant. Wormley passed away in 1995, but his legacy of creating elegant and high-quality furniture lives on. He was a master in combining classical 20th century design with modern innovations.

This sofa is in great condition and newly upholstered in Evolution21 Brazil Blue. Please note that we have a larger 'Janus' sofa in the same fabric in our current collection. For more information we kindly ask you to reach out to our design specialists.
