Scandinavian Modern Teak & Off White Leather Small Sofa Attributed to Ekornes
Located in Topeka, KS
Marvelous vintage Scandinavian Modern small leather sofa Attributed to Ekornes comprised of a teak frame and off-white leather removeable seat, back, and arm zippered cushions. This piece has been attributed based upon archived research including online sources, vintage documentation and catalogs, designer literature, and other materials however, it is not signed or marked in any way. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, we have re-dyed the leather in its original color. There are some signs of wear on right hand cushions. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, late 20th to early 21st Century. This sofa is SCREAMING with Scandinavian Modern Magnificence!!! We have a FABULOUS vintage Scandinavian Modern style small leather sofa Attributed to Ekornes for your viewing and purchasing pleasure. It’s not quite as small as a loveseat but it’s not as large as a traditional sofa. It does have three seat cushions, they’re just a little more “snug,” which is actually quite nice…so we’re calling it a small or petite sofa. It is comprised of a phenomenal teak frame bearing a beautiful front apron and flared arms. It holds three seat, three back, and two arm cushions, all removeable, zippered, and wearing a lovely off white leather. And there are hidden Velcro strips on the sofa deck and on the underside of the arms for added stability to hold the cushions tightly in place. And the bottom dust cover has two zippers so you can access the springs for convenient cleaning, etc. NICE!! The back of the sofa features a leather padded cushion between the teak back legs featuring vertical stitched details and the sofa sides are solid leather panels surrounded by teak frames. The arms swoop down and the leather arm cushion wraps around the top and side of the arms and connects to the hidden Velcro strap on the underside. Can we just say… GORGEOUS!!! It is the epitome of Scandinavian Modern beauty!!! It is going to be wonderful in your living room facing your coffee table, in a family or sitting room surrounded by Danish décor and other furnishings, or in the den or study flanking the fireplace. It bears superior comfort, exquisite style, and a quintessential Scandinavian Modern style you are sure to love for years to come! Most people know that Ekornes is a Norwegian company. What you may not know is Ekornes began in the mattress industry. The journey starts in 1934 with founder J.E. Ekornes. At that time, Ekornes was manufacturing springs for furniture companies in the area, and soon after, all throughout Norway. In 1947, Ekornes made a huge leap into the production of wooden furniture frames and parts for day beds and sofa beds. And soon after, they began production of their own mattresses. Their foamed plastics changed the mattress industry. By the time 1966 came around, Ekornes was releasing its newest and first collection of lounge furniture. This made Ekornes the first furniture manufacturer in Norway! Ekornes quickly became a household name in their country and in 1971 the Stressless Recliner was introduced. At the time, no one at Ekornes knew that the introduction of this early model Stressless chair would soon become the bulk of their business. Just 5 years after, The Stressless Brand alone hit the 100 million Norwegian Krone mark! In 1994, Ekornes celebrated its 60th anniversary and by 1996 the Stressless Chair had been on the market for 25 years. In March of 2001, Ekornes opened its famous showroom "Ekornes Bua" in Alesund, Norway and between 2002 and 2007, showrooms were opening up all over the world: Sao Paulo, Paris, Las Vegas, Berlin, and several more cities in Europe, Asia, and The United States. They are still in production today. Can you really go wrong with teak and leather? We think NOT!!! Comfort, convenience, quality, and a classic style created to withstand the hands of time!! We LOVE this teak & off white leather sofa...

Antique, New and Vintage Teak Furniture and Decor

Antique, new and vintage teak furniture has enduring classic appeal.

While teak credenzas, lounge chairs and coffee tables are luxurious additions to any living room or other interior space, teak outdoor furniture dazzles on patios and by the pool — teak is durable and strong, and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Whether you're indoors or outside, furnishings made of this tropical hardwood tree species have long been popular with design enthusiasts of all kinds.

Appreciated for its dense grain and rich luster, old-growth teak was a sought-after material among mid-century modern designers, who also pushed it to the brink of extinction.

“Teak is incredibly slow-growing, so much of what is still harvested is young, and from a sustainability standpoint, this is far from ideal,” says Brian Volk-Zimmerman of Volk Furniture in Brooklyn. When he does use it, he only goes for reclaimed teak, as many species of the tree have been over-forested.

It wasn’t always this way. In the previous century, according to Jenny Cashin — owner of the shop Mid-Century Modern Home, in British Columbia — Danish designers, and Scandinavian modernists in general, harvested teak as much as they liked. This enhanced their pieces’ handcrafted look and came to define the timeless simple shapes of mid-century modern design. “We still see current teak deck furniture that’s very porous and light,” says Cashin, who specializes in Danish modern and mid-century modern furniture made between 1940 and 1970. However, she notes, “it’s not the same caliber.”

Old-growth teak, aged 150 to 500 years old, is far denser, with a pronounced telltale grain, Cashin says. Though she can’t speak to why it found favor with Danish designers like Jens Risom, an incredibly accomplished, still-obscure furniture designer who created sideboards, dining tables and more in teak. Cashin believes their choice came down to aesthetics. Ben Erickson, a furniture maker in Brooklyn whose leather lounge chair is made of teak, believes it may have been the material’s workability. “Even though it’s not the best on blades because it has a high mineral content, it is really beautiful to turn and shape by hand,” he says. “You can get an amazing luster by hand sanding and oiling it.”
