Long, sleek and absolutely stunning Knoll International sectional sofa, circa late 1970s. This piece was purchased and only owned by the former Vice-President of Sales for Knoll, Southwest Division. When he moved from his Dallas home, he chose to sell much of his furniture, including this little-used classic. (He told us the original retail on this piece was in excess of $5000 - 1970s dollars).
Designed by legend Charles Pfister.
Original Knoll fabric. Color is ecru (most accurate in arm detail shot). Fabric does not wrap on inner sides of pieces (see pic) so they can not be separated without revealing - unless you have them recovered, of course.
Condition is as-new, with the sole exception of one pluck on one arm top (see pic) which could be addressed by an upholsterer or simply tended to with snippers.
Pieces are labeled Knoll.
Measurement:
2 end pieces: 30" w x 33" d x 22" h
2 middle pieces: 27" w x 33" d x 22" h
total length: 9' 6"

The dimensions of the 2 boxes are going to be very close to Greyhound limits, so it may turn out that truck shipping will be necessary. However, I don't think total cost will be very much greater. I will try to get an accurate estimate before auction ends, and post it here.
