About the Item

This beautiful Danish three-seat sofa recalls the peak of Danish Mid-Century Modern design. Thanks to its curved shape, this three-seat is exceptionally cozy and elegant. The visual appearance of this sofa is not the only thing that echoes Danish design, but also the exquisite craftsmanship. Many of the well-known Danish architects of the era felt the urge to try their hand at three-seater sofas, adhering to the period’s streamlined modernism.

The short, stained wood legs add that modern, organic feel, balancing out the voluptuous profile of the sofa.

Midcentury pieces such as this sofa were of great design, using fantastic wood like teak or beech. The era was the heyday of the production by master craftsmen. Midcentury Danish design is world famous for the partnership between designer and manufacturer, resulting in ground-breaking creations. The Danish design idiom was centered on warm woods, quality fabrics and gentle yet robust support for the spine, qualities that engender contentment and well-being, a defining characteristic of Danish culture. The “Great Danes” believed furniture should be shorn of aesthetic detail and be an amalgam of form and function. A master cabinet-maker is not a carpenter, as this was a rare breed of craftsman who had to be recognized by the Danish government after several years of toiling at his craft, as well as having to ace grueling design competitions before becoming a master cabinet-maker. Since Denmark was a special instance of tempered industrialization, it managed to preserve sound traditions and continue to safeguard values of craftsmanship, materiality and usability. Today, Danish furniture is sought after by collectors for Classic looks, storied designs and solid quality, works that are truly soulful and timeless.
