Inspired by the conversation pits of the 1970s, Australian designer Sarah Ellison’s FLOAT sofa—available in a rich Pantone brown called Piccolo or a bouclé fabric—was fêted high above Sunset Strip at the iconic Stahl House. Speaking to Ellison at the famous Case Study House #22, she remarked on how wonderful the clash was between her obsession with 70s aesthetics and mid-century mod. A low-slung multi-seater that is modularly configurable, the sofa is an instant classic. photographs by Adrian Gaut
