Rare 1980s Roche Bobois serpentine sectional

A true HiLo bucket list sofa!

We didn’t do or need to do much here, but what we did do was fix a few broken bones, make her a custom ottoman to stretch out a little more, and dress her in a glistening mint green crushed velvet

She showed up iconic, we just made sure she stayed that way.

Here at Hilo, nothing gets discarded, everything gets a second shot at stardom 🤩

This super special colab with started as leftover pieces from a previous project, then got rebuilt into something far more considered. We stretched the seat from 21” to 24”, lifted the back to 15”, custom built a new corner and ottoman, and refined the silhouette into a more modern, architectural shape.

Last but definitely not least, we wrapped her in a silk grid velvet that catches the light and gives her that golden glow.
