Corbi sofa

Klaus Uredat (born 1932, Germany) was a German industrial designer who came of age during the post-war reconstruction era. He began his design career in the 1960s, working primarily on seating systems. His philosophy centered on versatility, ergonomics, and clean sculptural form. While not as widely celebrated as some contemporaries, his influence on modular furniture design was significant and his work remains highly regarded among collectors and design historians. Designed in 1969 and produced by German manufacturer COR from 1972–1974, the Corbi is a modular seating system built around a simple but striking idea: each module pairs a rounded base with a detached cylindrical seatback cushion. Modules work alone as lounge chairs, combine into a sofa, or lay flat as a daybed. The short production run makes originals rare and highly collectible.
