This collection presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles design history. The house, originally designed by Paul Williams in 1933 was given the Haines touch when his clients a young family of five purchased and moved in in 1963. Haines made appropriate changes to the structure and being at the top of his game, both the architectural changes and the custom furnishings clearly illustrate this. He discreetly added a projection room to the front of the house so that the cleverly concealed projectors made for a movie going experience in the living room. Other Haines touches abound in this, a wonderful and thoughtful interior perfectly capturing a moment in time when life was glamorous.
This sofa was designed for the den/sitting room of this wonderful house. It is a classic Haines design with ample loose cushions and resting on Walnut runner legs. The sofa has been reupholstered in a performance velvet from Scalamandre Contract (Porter – Linen #SC 0002 27259). The runner legs have been refinished and this sofa is ready to star in your own project! Provenance and COA accompanies sale.
