Wood Alhambra Sofa

A camelback sofa in deep aubergine, and not the least bit apologetic about it.

The Alhambra Sofa is a contemporary piece from the Primitive Collection, upholstered in Luxe purple over a huali wood structure. Sofas of this camelback shape are made for living rooms and seating groups, and huali, a dense, fine-grained tropical hardwood, gives it a firm frame. The back rises to a soft peak at the center and falls away to squared arms that flare at the top. Two generous seat cushions sit on a plain, tailored base. A thin dark frame on three pairs of slim legs lifts it off the floor. Nearly seven feet long and 33.5 inches deep.

Beige had its chance. Beige declined.
