Dorothy Dandridge was the first African American actress to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a blatantly racist Hollywood era. Dorothy is the inspiration for this gracefully silhouetted and well-detailed featured mid-century modern furniture piece. Dorothy mid-century modern sofa is a variation of the original Jeane sofa, lavishing in its sensuality but, yet, charismatic in personality. A touch of cotton velvet is added to its feminine contour, pinewood frame and luxurious polished brass legs. A profound and luscious piece with a gentle nature.
