Its doesn't get much better than this exquisite original Mid Century Modern Jack Lenor Larsen tie dyed Chan Chan velvet fabric Sofa. The designer of the structure of the sofa is unknown. It is in the manner of Harvey Probber but unlabeled.
The "Chan Chan" fabric for this pieces was created as a limited run from 1966-1968. Chan Chan, inspired by West African fold dying techniques, is such a design. The fabric was woven on power looms in Switzerland, then shipped to the Kenyan dye workshop of English designer Eliza Wilcox, who adapted the fold-dye technique to create production yardage. Working to the beat of a drum, fifty women accordion-folded fifty yards of fabric. After the material was marked and tightly wrapped, it was immersed in dye vats. This procedure was repeated to develop the design. The finished cloth was shipped to the United States for finishing, then sent to Larsen’s New York office.
The single cushion is weighty and soft. Nothing on the sofa needs updates to meet more modern comfort needs. The sofa is in almost perfect original condition, the only imperfections are two small snags to the left arm (as shown in the photos). less
