Vladimir Kagan, Three-Piece Omnibus Sectional, USA, 1970s
-
Description
Composed of three parts (an L-shaped sofa, a V-shaped sofa, and a “High-Low” section), the Omnibus sectional sofa traces its roots to the Bauhaus concept of form following function. The individual sofa sections may be arranged separately or as one large module. Each component rests on electrically illuminated lucite panels that lend a sense of lightness to the otherwise heavy, boxy forms. The Omnibus has been reupholstered in a beautiful grey Romo woven wool, linen, and cotton blend.
Originally designed in the late 1960s, the Omnibus became the focal point of Kagan’s career for the next decade. Each of the sections of Kagan’s hallmark design is interchangeable, offering endless options for customization.
