About the Item
This extraordinary and rare sofa, designed by acclaimed Danish architect Anton Rosen around 1913, was originally created for the Tuborg headquarters, also known as Rosen Huset. The building, a hallmark of Danish architectural design, reflects Rosen’s unique blend of Art Nouveau and Danish modernism, and this sofa stands as a testament to his sophisticated vision.
Crafted from ebonized wood, the sofa showcases Rosen’s refined use of materials and attention to detail. Its sleek, geometric lines and elegant curves are characteristic of his architectural style, merging beauty and function. The piece has been expertly reupholstered in a period-appropriate wool fabric, carefully selected to reflect the original design aesthetic and maintain the authenticity of the piece.
This sofa was designed specifically for the prestigious Tuborg headquarters, lending it a remarkable provenance. Its striking design and historical significance make it a rare and sought-after piece for collectors and enthusiasts of early 20th-century Danish design.

Alfred Christensen Three-Seater Sofa for Slagelse Møbelfabrik, Denmark 1940s
By Alfred Christensen
Located in Utrecht, NL
Danish Modern focused more on the aesthetics of modern design whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen known as cabinetmakers. Alfred Christensen’s present sofa in this style is a rare and exquisite example of this.
This sofa has the characteristic ‘open armrest’ design that showcases the high level craftsmanship and the beautiful walnut structure as well. Clean and pure lines define this model that are coupled with expert craftsmanship and delicate research into proportions, materials and the requirements of the human body, adapting design to modern-day needs. Adopting the trend of abandoning ornamentation to benefit the form, Christensen maintained the beauty and warmth inherent to traditional Danish cabinetmaking. In consequence, this three-seater sofa has an elegant but still warm look thanks to its rounded edges and open execution. The only form of ornamentation - apart from the bent armrests - is the button tufting on the back. The light colour of the textural upholstery in combination with the dark walnut legs create an aesthetic that is perfect to bring a modern touch to any space.
While Danish designers, including Alfred Christensen, had many principles, above all, all designers...
