RONAN & ERWAN BOUROULLEC for VITRA, Switzerland 2006Designed by French brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Swiss maker Vitra, the Alcove sofa is one of the defining pieces of early 21st-century furniture design. Its genius lies in what it does structurally: the high, enveloping back and channeled side panels create a sense of enclosure — a room within a room — while the cream wool upholstery and slim chrome tubular frame keep it light and contemporary. The Bouroullecs conceived it as an antidote to the open-plan office and open-plan home alike, offering privacy without walls. The Vitra maker’s label is intact, the upholstery is in excellent condition throughout, and all original cushions are included.Approx. 236W × 91D × 87H cm. Seat height approx. 39 cm.

Design Story
Founded in 1950 in Basel by Willi Fehlbaum, the company began as a shop fitting manufacturer before discovering the work of Charles Eames and Ray Eames during a trip to the United States. Impressed by their revolutionary approach to furniture, Fehlbaum secured the European licensing rights to produce their designs, a decision that would shape Vitra’s identity for decades.
Over time, Vitra became far more than a manufacturer. The company built long term collaborations with some of the world’s most important designers, including Verner Panton, Jean Prouvé, and Jasper Morrison. Rather than chasing trends, Vitra focused on timeless forms, intelligent engineering, and furniture designed to improve everyday life.
Its pieces became staples of modern interiors, from creative offices and museums to carefully curated homes. At the same time, Vitra helped preserve design history by continuing to produce many classic mid century designs with exceptional attention to detail and authenticity.
Today, Vitra remains deeply associated with contemporary architecture and design culture. Through its furniture, exhibitions, and the renowned Vitra Campus, the company continues to shape the conversation around how modern spaces should look, feel, and function.
