About the Item

Elegant cabinetmaker sofa crafted in solid oak and upholstered in wool fabric with classic stripes. Produced in Denmark during the 1950s, the piece reflects the high level of craftsmanship and refined quality characteristic of the period. The oak frame features gracefully curved sides and a construction that is both robust and elegant, giving the sofa a timeless expression. The striped wool upholstery adds character and a graphic element, creating a beautiful contrast with the warm tone of the wood. The sofa is attributed to Frits Henningsen, one of Denmark’s most celebrated furniture architects, renowned for his classic yet highly sophisticated style. This piece is a fine example of his ability to combine function, comfort, and aesthetics into a harmonious whole.
