About the Item

This beautiful banana-shaped sofa is a true testament to Danish craftsmanship from the mid-20th century. Built in the 1930s or 1940s by an unknown cabinetmaker, it is heavy, strong, and robust—constructed to last for generations. The frame is made of solid, thick wood, and the powerful legs ensure a steady and grounded presence on the floor. The seat features traditional springs, offering a level of comfort rarely found in modern foam sofas. Every element has been crafted for durability and longevity. The upholstery is of more recent date and remains in excellent condition. The fabric is both elegant and highly durable, with many years of life ahead. Its light tone adds a touch of softness and refinement to this substantial piece, making it a versatile fit for most interiors—especially those aiming for a mid-century aesthetic with a touch of historical soul. The sofa has a generous yet balanced scale, inviting you to sit back and relax. Its organic lines bring personality and charm while maintaining a light, airy presence in any room. A true piece of world-class Danish design and craftsmanship. Seat height 40cm - 15.75inch
