Thanks in advance! I was wondering if anyone could help ID this sofa for me. It has a Knoll tag, and the seller thinks it's Tobia Scarpa, but I don't think so.

Any help would be so appreciated!

Is it really rosewood? That is a lot of rosewood for a Knoll piece, as those should all be solid boards.

Appears to be! I've attached another close-up.

There are a lot of different rosewood, and rosewood can be quite variable, but that does not look much like Brazilian Rosewood, Dalbergia nigra. It could be walnut, though.

Take an really sharp, really close photo of the grain....
