About the sofa

1970’s Modified Serpentine Sectional

Built from a collection of mismatched leftover pieces from previous HiLo projects, this one of a kind sectional was reimagined into a cohesive sculptural lounge piece for the Afternoon Light Design Show. The sofa is constructed from approximately 90% salvaged wood, including vintage framing, reclaimed off-cuts from past builds, and salvaged pine sourced from demolished New York City buildings. One custom curved section was built entirely in-house using reclaimed materials to complete the final composition.

Designed with ultimate laid-back, space-age comfort in mind, the piece features deep 25” seats, feather-wrapped foam cushions, and oversized 12” back bolsters that invite hours of lounging. The result is a dramatic biomorphic silhouette that balances craftsmanship, sustainability, and pure comfort.

Redressed in Zimmer + Rohde’s Cedro, a playful marbled jacquard bouclé, the fabric amplifies the sofa’s psychedelic curves and vintage-inspired form while giving the piece a fresh, modern edge.

Here is what we did:

• Restructured and reshaped each individual piece to create a fully cohesive matching set
• Custom built an external curved corner section using salvaged wood
• Extended the seat depth to an ultra loungey 25”
• Softened and rounded the overall silhouette into a more biomorphic form
• Rebuilt and reinforced the vintage frames using reclaimed materials
• Filled all cushions with lux 50/50 duck feather wrap over medium-density foam
• Upholstered the entire piece in Zimmer + Rohde’s Cedro marbled jacquard bouclé
