Bold Mathias Hoffman '6500' Swivel Armchair and Ottoman by Rolf Benz
German upholsterer Rolf Benz founded his namesake luxury furniture company in 1964. His first release was a modular sofa system called the 'Addiform' which broke with tradition and became highly successful. This was followed up by a number of avant-garde ranges that pushed the boundaries of contemporary design while providing a high level of quality and comfort.
The '6500' lounge series is a post-modern classic, designed by Mathias Hoffmann and released in 1985. The range is both robust and sleek with a grand scale that captures the excess of the 80s. The 6500 was considered revolutionary on it's release and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
