Besides the Eames Sofa, etc., I'm consideri9ng the Kubus Sofa by Josef Hoffman.

Is anyone actually still making it, or are all the available new sofas Chinese knockoffs?

Yup, that's it.
Should I get a 2-seater instead of the Eames sofa? It sure is a crisp looking sofa.
Wonder if this Alphaville Chinese repro is good enough quality?
Also, this particular seller is sure charging a bundle for shipping.....

Sofa
My instinct(and love for Herman Miller) says go for the Eames, plus I've seen you mention it before and would guess thats really the one you want. Check out the link below, this picture makes me want one.

The KUBUS is a bit more interesting/outside the box,choice.I can see this sofa talking with your 50s bitossi, etc. I favor interiors that range in time and place...azurechicken/USA...

Thanks, Azure
I am fascinated at 1920's and some 1930's designs that are so angular and modern that they continue to look fresh and modern...even after all those years.
Same goes with the la Courbusier external frame chairs and sofas....as modern as the 15-year-later Florence Knoll chairs and sofas!
I just wonder if I can find a Kubus loveseat that's well made and not the crappy Chinese knockoff inferior-made stuff.
