Designer Nika Zupanc's Modesty Sofa and Bench, part of her 'Gone With The Wind' series, is an exercise in restrained femininity. Cut with a high back and sloped armrests, the Modesty Sofa allows for privacy and treads the line between severe and lush.
Made of light, almost white, maple, and upholstered in black, both the Modesty Sofa and Bench are adorned with an elegant black sateen ribbon tied into a neat bow.
Implications - With so many bondage-style fashions emerging from high-end couture labels in recent times, there is no better time to jump on the bandwagon with furniture as fun (or FUNiture), as this Modesty Sofa and Bench from the Gone With The Wind series does. This restrained femininity is quite refreshing and make this sofa the perfect new furniture piece for modern women.
