Danish Cabinetmaker Two-Seater Sofa with Striped Upholstery, Denmark 1940s

About the Item

This beautiful Danish two-seater sofa is an early example of what became known as Danish Mid-Century Modern design. With a classic mid-century look, this model is the perfect piece to bring the coveted style into any interior. Modernism was an escape from the rigidity of Realism, and a multitude of cultural and aesthetic movements grew from it. Design wise, Modernism in Denmark incorporated Scandinavia’s core values into the movement, including praising nature and its forms in art, human creativity and faithfulness to traditional materials and craftsmanship. These traits can be traced in the organic forms and cosiness of this sofa. The vertical stripes of the velour upholstery visually elongate the model, while the button tufting breaks these lines to add depth. The visual appearance of this sofa however, is not the only thing that echoes Danish design; the exquisite craftsmanship under the upholstered body is evident, creating the rounded outline of the design. The back effortlessly comes forth to form the arms that curve outwards, adding to the inviting shape. The beech tapered legs ensure stability, and further lengthen the design visually. This two-seater sofa has its original upholstery with velour stripes, accentuating the wooden legs and the mid-century look. The fabric brings an additional layer of interest to a space and pairs well with the rounded shapes of this sofa. Scandinavian textiles are still world renowned for their quality and power to define not only a piece of furniture, but the whole space it is placed in. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. This sofa comes with its original upholstery or has been reupholstered by a previous owner.
