Draga & Aurel designed Leon for Baxter in 2019. The sofa came first; the swivel armchair followed, with the same lines and the same upholstery. Baxter sums it up as a "majestic, rounded design." The proportions are large and the stance is confident, while the curves close around the seat like a shelter. IFDM compared the way it holds you to a soft embrace. Sit down and you will see why.
Baxter Leon sofa: curves, pleats and stitching
Leon is made to be looked at and touched. Pleats, reliefs and tailored stitching shape the leather, and a visible border frames the back. The cover is always leather: Baxter's soft leathers, including nubuck, and Rhino, in any color from the catalog. Inside there is a plywood and MDF frame, polyurethane foam padding and suspension in woven, covered rubber webbing. A black base sits under the frame and keeps the focus on the volume.
Two sizes, two orientations
Order the sofa in a right or left version and in two sizes: 270 × 136 cm (105.25 × 53 in) or 330 × 145 cm (128.75 × 56.5 in), always 78 cm (30.5 in) high. Those depths invite you to tuck your legs up or stretch out across the seat. In a large living room Leon can float in the center, with a rug and a low table in front. In a smaller room, go for the 270 cm size against a wall.
Our advice
Pair the sofa with the Baxter Leon swivel armchair: same curves, a matte black metal base and a swivel that turns easily from conversation to TV. In our Messina showroom you can feel the leathers and choose orientation and size with us. Your custom quote comes back fast.
