The Breck sofa The stuff of country houses in Connecticut and of country clubs, its arms are sloping with scroll pleats and inset panel; the back tight, the cushions loose, with welting and a carefree 3-part kickpleat skirt. We imagine Katharine Hepburn lounging on this smart sofa in The Philadelphia Story. Rockefeller armchair designed by Jean-Michel Frank, ca. 1937 All Frank's creations are plain, strange, supremely elegant; the Rockefeller is no exception. The exposed wood frame and leg are sheathed in silver leaf, likely to oxidize with age; the seat and back are tight and pullover. This chair is masculine in shape, feminine in surface, making it an androgynous ideal in furniture. Imagine Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, sipping Gibsons while facing each other in Rockefeller armchairs. HYLAND
