SIDI 1993

DuPont Top Ten 1994

A single piece which is a blend of sofa and table surface, allowing the sitter to deposit the remote control or a drink nearby without actually needing another item of furniture - the coffee table. The sofa is curved, thus enabling three people to sit and converse without blocking each other from view.

    When this model had been in production for a number of years, OTB discovered a 1960 design by Tomás Díaz Magro, Gótico, a table-cum-armchair, which was based on the same idea. The name Belgravia was taken from the London district of the same name, hinting at the great tradition of the Chesterfield sofas one would find in an elegant English club.
