This vintage sofa is by Kroehler and wears its original geometric pattern chenille fabric with gorgeous colors of brown, orange, green, and GOLD baby!! I LOVE GOLD… (Lol…Do you get that Goldmember reference?) Ha Ha, Sorry!! This tuxedo sofa is Modern or Mod style and comprised of three loose seat cushions, semi loose back and arm cushions, ALL featuring a fabulous button tufted design. Stellar style AND superb comfort!! It is going to look wonderful in your living room in front of the coffee table or flanking the fireplace in the study. It would really be a bold statement piece floating in the center of your family room. Whether your home is Industrial, mid-century modern, contemporary, or Mod… this sofa will bring just the right amount of 1970’s Fabulous-ness to any room.

Peter E. Kroehler purchased the Naperville Lounge Company in 1902. The original factory was destroyed by a tornado, so he built a new facility in 1913 and soon after renamed the company Kroehler Manufacturing Co. Like most furniture businesses they struggled through the depression and barely made it through WWII by refitting and making furniture and file cabinets for the USO offices. But by the mid-1940s Kroehler was the second largest furniture maker in the United States. They flourished in the 1950s, even with the death of their founder, and by the1960s employed close to 8,000. Unfortunately, the 1970s brought financial struggles and by 1978 they had mostly ceased operations. In 1981 they were acquired by ATR Group of Northbrook who sold most of the assets along with the Kroehler name. In the early 2000s two unrelated companies were manufacturing under the Kroehler moniker. We celebrate the wide array of furniture Kroehler brought to us during the mid-20^th century!

Don’t let this “Shagadelic” Mod sofa by Kroehler pass you by… Make it yours, BABY!!!
