Shorty Sofa
-
Description
Vladimir Kagan’s Shorty Sofa debuted in 1990 in response to clients’ requests for a smaller-scale alternative to the iconic Serpentine, proportioned to amplify the iconic curves while maintaining a modest size. This adaptation was developed as the ideal solution to smaller spaces, inspired by Kagan’s familiarity with the challenge of accommodating NYC apartments. While smaller in scale than the original Serpentine, the Shorty’s unique silhouette layers dramatic curving shapes without sacrificing style.

Care & Assembly
Product Care
Wood
- Remove dust with a dry or damp lint-free microfiber cloth.
- Gentle hand dishwashing liquid diluted with water and applied with a microfiber cloth can be used for periodic cleaning.
- A silicone-free cleaner formulated specifically for wood furniture (like Guardsman Anytime Clean & Polish) can also be used when needed. Spray cleaner on cloth – never directly on the wood surface.
- Thoroughly dry the piece with a soft cloth after application of any moisture.
- Never use solvents or abrasives or cleaners not specifically designed for use on fine wood furniture.
- Limit direct exposure to UV light sources as it can cause wood colors to change.
- The use of placemats and coasters will help to avoid superficial scratches. Installing felt dots on the underside of objects also helps to preserve the surface.
- If the finish on well-loved VLADIMIR KAGAN furniture looks tired, an application of Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner will rejuvenate your product. Closely follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
