Looks okay, if you sit on middle of it, but not quite as comfortable if you sit on left or right on it.
Seems like Driade has stopped manufacturing it?

Thanks for posting
but it's certainly not an original design, is it? Very "Retro" if you know what I mean.
Better to stick with the real designs that this is influenced by!

Does it squirt out from under you when you sit on either end?
Rim shot.
Actually, I like the sofa quite a lot.

It is an 'original' design, it may look a little 'retro' but that is the current fashion, as I'm sure you're aware?
I wouldn't be disparaging about something just because it looks a little Mid Century..
I might if it looked a little Victorian, however 😉
..added to which a lot of people don't like second-hand soft furnishings in their home (i'm not one of them)
