Gondola Settee

The Gondola Settee from Baker Furniture moves through a room the way its namesake navigates still water — with unhurried grace and an inherent sense of ceremony. Its enveloping silhouette curves inward at the arms with a sculptural authority that feels at once classical and entirely resolved, finished throughout in a deep Dark Tobacco that lends the piece a quiet, almost nocturnal richness. The tight seat cushion, rendered in the same Dark Tobacco, speaks to the kind of considered restraint that distinguishes a truly composed interior from a merely decorated one.
