Charles Stendig once said “If a piece sold well, you can be sure it was boring.” Not afraid to take chances, Stendig was pioneering in the world of design. He boldly imported avant-garde designs from overseas making forms, such as this sofa, available to the American market. This example of the Marilyn sofa comes from the Stendig residence. Signed with manufacturer's label to seam: [Gufram] with manufacturer's label to underside: [Gufram Multipli '86 Bocca].
