Super rare leather two-seat sofa by Dutch designer Gerard van den Berg. Made by Montis the Netherlands in the 1970s. This two-seat sofa is called "Ringo" and ones of the most rare sofa's designed by Gerard Van Den Berg. Not only it is one of his rarest, we think it is also one of his most beautiful sofa's. The Ringo sofa was designed a seating group consisting a three-seat, two-seat and lounge chair. This is the two-seat sofa, which would also be a great loveseat. Like many of Van de Berg his sofa's, it is fully made of high quality leather and has great seating comfort. With its big and round fat shapes it looks very comfortable and modern. The sofa has a nice patina to the leather. It does have some scratches and wear to the surface. A very collectible sofa!

Gerard van den Berg is a Dutch furniture designer famous for his unique leather sofas and lounge chairs in the late Dutch mid-century. Many of his designs are distinctive from other items of the time. Like the "Florence" or "Rock" sofa, lounge chair and ottoman. Another classic item is his thick neck leather "Ringo" sofa, but also newer chairs like the "Chaplin" dining chair, "Swoon" sofa and "Longa" lounge chair are instant classics. In some way he and Montis can be seen as the Dutch "De Sede" in the 70s and 80s. Many sofas and chairs have the same brutalist appearance, quality and the use of high end leather.
