Story
Taking its name from Asian architecture
Audo says the Pagode Sofa takes its name from Asian architecture and is expressive and unique in its simplicity, much like the temples it refers to.
First presented in 1956
The page calls the sofa avant-garde and artistic for its time, unknown to most, and says it was first presented to the world in 1956 and remains a striking piece of design.
