Space Age Concha Modular 4-Seater Sofa by Jo Otterpohl for Cor, 1970, Set of 4

with the Concha collection, Jo Otterpohl created one of the most distinctive German lounge furniture designs of the 1970s for COR. The sculptural design, generously upholstered volumes, and uncompromising color scheme make this exceptional four-piece set an authentic statement of the Space Age era. The powerful combination of vibrant orange and deep brown gives the chairs an unmistakable presence and impressively embodies the optimistic belief in the future that characterized that time.

The four-piece set offered here is in exceptionally good original condition. The colors appear remarkably fresh and brilliant, while the high-quality upholstery fabric shows virtually no signs of wear—except for a small, barely noticeable mark on the side of one chair. The generous cushions retain their shape and offer the characteristically comfortable seating for which the Concha model is renowned. The white lacquered wooden shells create a striking contrast to the expressive upholstery and underscore the futuristic design. The high-quality craftsmanship lends the armchairs a sculptural quality and emphasizes the architectural character of the design.

The modular concept of the design is particularly noteworthy. Thanks to the integrated chrome casters on the back, the individual elements can be moved effortlessly and rearranged again and again. Whether as a communal seating group, an open lounge landscape, or individual standalone armchairs – the modules offer exceptional flexibility and adapt to a variety of residential and commercial concepts.
