The Africa three-seater sofa was designed by Esko Pajamies for Asko as part of the Africa furniture group. This example combines a substantial oak frame with cognac-coloured leather upholstery.
Design and construction
Three loose back cushions and three seat cushions rest within the exposed timber structure. Broad leather straps support the seating and remain visible across the back and beneath the cushions, while rounded upholstered armrests soften the robust frame. The leather and cushions are in very neat vintage condition with only minor age-related wear.
Design context
Drawings preserved in the Lahti Museums’ Asko archive date Pajamies’s Africa furniture group to 1971. The sofa’s modular cushioning, leather suspension and solid timber construction give the group its distinctive, carefully articulated character.
