The story

This beautiful sofa designed by Jules Leleu around 1945 embodies the smooth lines of the art deco living room sets that came on the market in the early 1930s. The smooth and round lines are a thing of beauty, finished with curved oak feet, one of Jules Leleu clubs signature. This sofa has been fully restored and reupholstered using an offwhite thick mohair velvet from Elitis, which is exceptionally soft to the touch, and 100% mohair, that enhances the sofa’s beautiful shape. Impart a luxe, homey and elegance feel to a contemporary living room with this incredible sofa. Photos of the restoration process and documentation are available upon request. The matching pair of club armchairs is also available.

About Jules Leleu

French cabinetmaker and decorator (1883-1961), originally from Boulogne-sur-Mer, who moved to Paris in 1924 and founded Maison Leleu. His Art Deco furniture uses macassar ebony, rosewood, shagreen and ivory or mother-of-pearl inlay in balanced, classical forms. He contributed to the liner Normandie, and the firm continued under his children. Collectors seek stamped pieces and documented commissions.
