Picked this baby up today. I am sorry to say that I don’t have a camera to take a picture for you. But, it is emerald green. It has clean modern wooden legs, and sleek wooden arm-rests, and although it’s at least 40 years old, comfort-wise it could have been built yesterday. It folds out in the same way as the classic Ikea futon models but it’s constructed from wood and steel hinges, so it’s much sturdier.
It was probably a pretty standard item in the former East German living room, but it was very hard to find any exact matches when I went searching for photos on-line. I was also very interested to know what it cost then, and what a similar model costs today.
I promise I will post photos as soon as I can. In the meantime, here is a photo I found of a similar sofa made by the same company.
So dreamy!
