1960s FD451 Sofa by Peter Hvidt for France and Son in teak and rattan
1960s FD451 Sofa by Peter Hvidt for France and Son in teak and rattan

1960s FD451 Sofa by Peter Hvidt for France and Son in teak and rattan

Located in Victoria, BC

This FD451 sofa was designed by Peter Hvidt and produced by France and Son in Denmark during the 1960s. Part of the Minerva modular system, the design reflects a clear and structured approach to seating, where proportion, material, and function are carefully balanced. The frame is crafted in solid teak, with a warm tone and defined grain. Unlike the daybed version, this example features fixed arms with pleated rattan panels, giving the piece a more contained and architectural presence. The absence of the folding mechanism results in a simpler construction, while maintaining the same visual language and comfort. The proportions are low and horizontal, with a wide seating area supported by a light, well-resolved structure. The relationship between the solid wood frame, woven rattan panels, and upholstered cushions creates a balanced composition, typical of Hvidt’s work. The sofa has been restored and is in excellent condition. The teak frame is structurally sound and well preserved, the rattan is clean and intact, and the upholstery presents as fresh and tailored. We also have the matching FD451 daybed version available, as well as the original Minerva corner table...

Maxine D, Felt and Wood Bench, Benoist F. Drut in STACKABL, Canada, 2021

By Benoist Drut

Located in New York, NY

STACKABL is a configurator that allows anyone to customize furniture online, an innovative system that allows you to turn high-quality, surplus metal, wood, and felt offcuts from our manufacturing partners – located within a 150-mile-radius – into fully finished, custom works ready to be shipped to your home or project. Aided by algorithms and robotics, the configurator identifies remnant inventory (in the form of metal, wood, and felt) that fits your aesthetic choices. This inventory is then put back through the manufacturers' own machines, and into the hands of their own experts, who execute your design. In the fall of 2020, Maison Gerard paired with STACKABL to show just what can be accomplished with the configurator. Maison Gerard tapped the talents of six prominent designers, asking them to create pieces of their own within STACKABL. Benoist F. Drut's Maxine bench: Drut’s eye for eclecticism and exuberance is palpable in his design for the Maxine bench. The artistry and symmetry of eighteenth-century French royal furnishings, the energy and expertise of Parisian gallerist/decorator Madeleine Castaing, the Orientalist architecture of Frederic Church...

Antique, New and Vintage Loveseats

Antique and vintage loveseats are functional and totally charming furniture in homes large and small these days. They first appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries, though they were not yet known by this endearing term.

These petite, two-seat sofas were originally intended to comfortably sit a woman clad in what were the era’s large and elaborate dresses — ornate hooped garments with copious folds of fabric, embroidery and lace. However, because the original seats featured just enough space for two, they quickly became popular for couples that were courting. Loveseats meant that the couples could engage in close conversation, but furniture makers ensured that there was enough space between sitters to prioritize modesty.

In the early days of loveseats, the furnishings were minimalist in appearance and could often be found in an s-shape, with the two sides facing each other. The spare seating was initially little more than a wooden bench, as loveseats weren’t yet upholstered or cushioned. Design of the seating evolved over time, and this wide chair was eventually padded and tufted for comfort. During the 1800s, loveseats were a luxurious addition to the homes of the wealthy, and even today, antique 19th-century loveseats are still quite alluring. In any lavishly decorated parlor of the Victorian era, you might find a pair of partygoers tucked into a particularly plush iteration of these cozy perches, one boasting arched crests of carved mahogany over its sculpted seats, with front cabriole legs resolving in paw feet.

In modern homes, loveseats — even antique Victorian loveseats — pair well with oversize sofas or are ideal replacements for sofas, particularly if you’re working on organizing and furnishing a smaller space. A loveseat is a stylish addition to a home library or a reading nook and can easily be situated at the foot of the bed in your bedroom. In the living room, you may wish to position your vintage loveseat and couch around a central focal point, such as a distinguishing architectural feature or a fireplace. But be sure to leave some walking room between your seating and any nearby coffee tables or side tables. Allow for around two feet for guests to pass between a couch and chair or loveseat and at least a foot between a loveseat and coffee table.

Find a wide variety of antique, new and vintage loveseats today on 1stDibs.
