Pierre Rose: “A sofa cushion filled with polyurethane, upholstered in leather or textiles, with cute, like a Shar-Pei, folds, was invented in the early 1970s by Michel DuCare. The sofa immediately “thundered”: at the Salon Des Arts Menagers exhibition in 1973, he received the prestigious Rene Gabriel Award, which was awarded for “innovative and democratic furniture”. Michel Rosé: “At first, he was appreciated by the Parisian bohemians, behind her by Hollywood stars, and in no time the sofa without legs became a symbol of modern design and a living legend. And in this capacity, a welcome guest in luxury interiors. This is one of the paradoxes of the modern era: a thing conceived as democratic turns out to be a masterpiece, it ends up in museums, in the houses of connoisseurs and, finally, in history. ”
