FULL SUITE SOLD for $1800 (3-seater sofa PLUS matching pair of armchairs) ON HOLD!

The listing price of $795 is for the Musterring 3 seater sofa only. We have a pair of matching armchairs, plus the matching ottoman which allows 2 people to lie out very comfortably in this sofa AT THE SAME TIME. The ottoman (which slopes downwards- in an arc) will also convert this sofa into a L-shape (modular-type) lounge suite. (The ottoman is NOT included in this price because it’s also perfect with the matching pair of chairs which may sell separately- we’re hoping they don’t though!) The ottoman is a great design with it’s curved arc (sloping down)- it’s NOT bulky and won’t block off your space. 

This full suite retailed new for AU $20,000!

This suite is about 20 years old but presents extremely well due to the exceptional quality of the craftsmanship, design and FULL-GRAIN leather-upholstery.

This suite SOLD under consignment from a regular iNVISeDGE seller in GEELONG, near Melbourne.

Provenance and Background Information

(Written in 2020)

A 3 seater sofa, by Musterring of Germany. Musterring is an internationally renowned furniture-brand that has been in business more than 8 decades! No furniture company will last in the marketplace for 80 years unless they’re doing a lot right. This suite is over 20-years-old and retailed new for AU $20,000. Every piece in this suite is still in full original condition- it’s obvious it has been built to last. The quality FULL-GRAIN leather is thick, luxurious and beautiful to touch. The suite is bold in looks but the curves in the arm soften this design, as do the round cushions.

The thing I love most about this suite is the COMFORT! This suite is VERY comfortable- really soft but still supportive at the same time. Watch your stresses melt away when you laze around in this! There are air vents on the undersides of the cushions which allow just the right amount of air to pass through for a floating-comfort you’ll just love! You can also lie back and snooze in this suite (particularly if you use the ottoman). Alternatively, put one of the included small cushions behind your lower back to sit up with full seating support and comfort. (The matching sofa- which is priced separately- is also generous in size so you can lie out on the sofa without even needing the ottoman. Enquire for our value-price on the full suite.)

Musterring operates with a sense of obligation to the idea of quality materials, workmanship, form and function- all these elements must be of the highest quality to bear the Musterring trademark. This suite is HEAVY and incredibly well-built. The frames are solid as a rock after all these years of use, and the cushions are still beautiful and plush.

1stdibs recently had the exact same suite as this one, for AU $6,000. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a screen-shot when I spotted that listing a few weeks ago- it obviously sold because it’s no longer online. There are a few Musterring pieces currently for sale on 1stDibs. Small second-hand sofas (that are not as nice as this design) are listed at AU $2,100 EACH. There’s also an armchair very similar to this design listed for over AU $1,000 (just one armchair- nothing else is available there).

Musterring is a family business, established in 1938 by German furniture architect Josef Honer. By 1951, Musterring furniture couldn’t keep up with demand and by 1953 they were receiving awards for their designs. In 1975, they introduced a 5-year guarantee which offered customers a high level of reliability. The 5-year guarantee remains to this day. More recently, Musterring has been part of a large-scale environmental initiative to save Municipal Forests. To date, well over 50,000 new trees have been planted from donations provided by Musterring and its partners.

Instead of buying furniture in cheap leathers that will end up as landfill in as little as a decade consider investing in QUALITY vintage-furniture. (This suite is already over 20 years old and just look at it- incredible!) There’s no better way to invest in the future of the earth and do something socially-conscious. By investing in items offered by iNVISeDGE you’re also supporting an Australian small business that provides meaningful employment opportunities in our local community. At this value-price, it’s a win for you, a win for our environment and a win for our local economy!

NOTE- this lounge suite is black- the photos were taken late in the day so the lighting and reflection occurring from the sky changed as the sun set. Any reflection is occurring from the sky- the suite is black.
