Unique architecual sofa and chair. Sofa and chair is in wheels that have Obit made in England text. The sofa & chair appears to be light milk chocolate, brown, vinyl. All 6 sofa cushions are removable. The cushions are have button design. Once the cushions are removed the bottom of the sofa carriage is black rubber that is in place by streching the end attachments of the rubber over the metal tabls that are exposed approx an half inch. The rubber has text of Pirelli made in Great Britain, patent numbers, etc. I have searched the web with all the phrases that I can think of. Also, the furniture appears to be 1960's or 1970's. If anyone has any information or questions please let me know. Soon, I hope!! because not knowing anything about the unique sofa and chair has made me 10 shades of crazy. Thank you! Gafami

Pirelli
Pirelli seats and webbing were used by lots of large British furniture manufacturers during that period.
G Plan, Guy Rogers and Pieff to name a few.
Without a pic, I would guess at G Plan....
