Solid Teak Original Cognac Leather Danish 3-Seater Sofa by A. Mikael Laursen
About the Item
Made by A. Mikael Laursen in Denmark, circa late 1960s-early 1970s. Not your typical dainty Scandinavian Modern sofa. This hefty brute won't creek, wobble or bow under the weight of your guests or ask you to compromise quality and comfort for good looks either. Handsome, stately and still elegant in design. Dozens of thick teak strips are staved (butt-joined) together to created the stunning panels that make up the architecture and style that frames this sofa. This 3-seater couch has been delicately restored to excellent condition.
Remarkably, this couch is even more comfortable than it looks. Nestle into the deep, down filled cushions as you caress the soft, supple leather. Impeccably crafted and beautifully designed. The original, aged, light-cognac leather has been professionally re-colored and top-coat sealed to match the original tone. A minimal, tasteful touch of decorative leather stitch-work on the cushions, parallel the other subtle charms that define this exception sofa. It's re-assuring to know that this leather has lasted for nearly half a century and still looks amazing. We're confident it can do another fifty years standing on it's head. The padded seat decking conceals heavy duty metal springs and the back cushions are supported by a nylon canvas sling that spans between the arm panels. All elements are rigid and function like-new.
Matching loveseat also available and sold separately.

- Tulip Group Sofa in Rosewood by K M Wilkins for G-Plan of EnglandBy G Plan FurnitureLocated in Chattanooga, TNMatching pair of lounge chairs also available and sold separately (see last pic). This incredible sofa was purchased new in Glasgow, Scotland in 1970. We acquired from the original owners who kept it in pristine condition. Designed by K.M. Wilkins for G-Plan of England, this line is appropriately named the "Tulip Group". Wilkins also designed the the well known Housemaster Chair, often misattributed to Ib Kofod Larsen. The "Tulip" design is demonstrated by the rosewood panels which are molded into curves that mimic a blossoming flower. Offered almost exclusively in teak, this rosewood set is truly a rare find. The rich, amber-red panels are perfectly complimented by the chrome hardware and velvet fabric. The luxuriously soft velvet is in amazing condition. The color is difficult to describe, but in our opinion, it's a cross between olive-green and taupe-brown. Of course the refraction of light on velvet can magnify or minimize the tones and highlights depending on the angle and environment. The sofa hovers on its original Magnum Orbit chrome...Category
