In the case of this sofa, orange is DEFINITELY the new black!!! This is a fabulous vintage sofa by Stratford Designs wearing its original orange velvety chenille fabric. It is comprised of a tuxedo style frame with rolled arms, three back cushions and two side or arm cushions, all zippered and filled with ground foam, and a cozy foam filled bench seat cushion with marvelous button detail. It has two arm covers and round tapered brown plastic legs behind the base skirt. The fabric bears an all-over “perfectly imperfect” wear as you would expect with a vintage piece. We love it and would use it as is for a long time, however, some may wish to reupholster. Just imagine the limitless fabric possibilities!! One of the greatest assets this sofa bears is its incredibly comfortable single bench cushion! Yes, it's attractive but it’s quite possibly the PERFECT napping couch!!! No pesky cushion cracks to fall between!! Lol!! It is Modern in style, but it will blend in beautifully with many décor styles whether Mid-Century Modern, Industrial, Minimalist, Maximalist, or Hollywood Regency! Can’t you just see it in your family room, living room, or flanking the fireplace in the study? We certainly can!!
Morris Futorian came to the United States from the Ukraine with his sister and parents in 1923 as a fifteen-year-old young man. They lived in Chicago where he spent time beside his father at the Glabman Bros. Furniture where he swept floors while learning the trade and eventually becoming a foreman, until the Great Depression in 1934 rendered him and his family jobless. That sparked an interest in entrepreneurship and starting his own company. He began repairing broken furniture in his neighborhood to make ends meet. On September 13, 1948, Morris Futorian opened a single-story furniture production plant in New Albany, Mississippi he called “The Stratford Company.” He would transform the furniture industry with his introduction to an assembly line for furniture manufacturing. They created high quality furniture with mass assembly and eventually the plant would double, creating thousands of jobs, and would assist to evolve many other companies. He was inspired to the assembly line by a visit he made to a Detroit automobile assembly plant where he became intrigued as to why furniture couldn’t be made the same way. He would later be known as “The Henry Ford” of the upholstered furniture industry. Futorian built a massively successful empire and is in the American Furniture Hall of Fame. Morris Futorian retired in 1981 and he passed away in 1994.

- Late 20th Century Modified Tuxedo Slipcover Style Pillow Back Large Scale SofaLocated in Topeka, KSCharming late 20th century modified tuxedo slipcover style pillow back large scale sofa. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. This sofa will need to be reupholstered. There are rust stains on the body along with other stains even though it has been professionally cleaned. It has been priced accordingly. The loose-24-inch pillows are in good condition although the poly fil in the animal print pillows is twisted and needs to be repositioned. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. circa, late 20th century. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, well, behold this beauty! But don’t look at the fabric ethel!!!! Lol!!!! Ok, so… this sofa is a definite reupholster which we feel comes with SO MANY fabulous opportunities! Plus, the sofa has really good bones. Let’s talk about the “bones” first!! This baby is large scale, and the arms have a slight angle; hence, modified tuxedo style, two loose feather wrapped foam zippered seat cushions, a loose pillow back with five unzippered 24 inch poly filled pillows, and black painted wood tapered legs under the skirt. It is upholstered in a slipcover style and right now, it has a Neoclassical look with Greek key detail trimming the base of the skirt combined with animal print pillows, but changing the fabric will completely change the style of the sofa. Versatility overload!! Three pillows are solid off-white linen on one side and textured & striped off-white linen on the other side and two pillows are camel or khaki and off white animal print. If you put a neutral cover on the sofa you could use ANY pillows. You could have so much fun with that! Adorn it with seasonal or holiday pillows...Category
