The 1980 Misha Black Sofa - London Transport Bus and District Line Fabric

The 1980 Misha Black Sofa - London Transport Bus and District Line Fabric

The Misha Black Sofa is our homage to the extraordinary designs of London Transport and the structural form of the 1980s. This is a one off sofa recovered by Bishop's Upholstery in 1980 moquette cloth from the recent London Transport auction. The fabric will be familiar to those who used London Transport throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It was introduced in 1980 on the District Line and also on bus routes where the Trojan bus ran. It is synonymous with eighties London and exudes an image of new Romantics, Sloane Rangers and the design themes that championed Cool Britannia. It is fire retardant and has been made to strict modern standards by artisan craftsman Timothy Sumbler. The sofa is of a design no doubt familiar to anyone who visited night clubs in the eighties. Chairman Antiques commissions one off examples. 

It is of remarkable construction and the arms attach by hidden bolts that simply unbolt, accessed by panels that unzip to make it easy to transport and fit into most settings. It measures 204cm long x 100cm deep x 97cm in height. 

Tax included.
