About the Item

Danish design is a remarkable combination of concern for functionality and materiality melded with a desire for outmost comfort. With a modern but also retro look, this three-seater has a charm that is delightfully unique. Danish Modern designs are mostly utilitarian objects and as such they can become consonant with users in ways no designer, cabinetmaker, or marketing executive ever envisioned. At the same time - as this sofa shows - functionality was not perfected at the expense of aesthetic appeal and quality. This outstanding modular sofa has a creative design that allows it to be used in a number of ways, even as a daybed. With three seats and two table modules, the design offers plenty of room for versatility. Each seat is composed of a seat and backrest with gently rounded edges and an ergonomic shape. The roundness in combination with the light bouclé upholstery pairs incredibly well with the sharp lines of the body and the tables. The two tables resemble the nesting style with large surfaces that are still light in appearance. Since the individual modules of this sofa can be freely arranged in any order and therefore combination, the look of the space can be easily refreshed or even transformed completely. The heavy teak wooden base assures a stable foundation for the modules while showcasing the natural beauty of the wood. Thanks in great part to an early emphasis on wood and a theoretical resistance to certain modernist currents by influential designers, the term Danish Modern has, over time, avoided associations with cold industrialization and machine aesthetics. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The sofa has been reupholstered recently in a premium bouclé fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information. Dimensions: 112.20 in W x 32.28 in D x 29.72 in H; Seat height 16.92 in; Arm height 21.25 in 285 cm W x 82 cm D x 75.5 cm H; Seat height 43 cm; Arm height 54 cm About the designer: This Danish-made sofa reflects the core traditions and ideals of Danish design. Mid-century 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. Mid-century Danish design is world-famous for the partnership between designer and manufacturer, resulting in ground-breaking creations. A master cabinetmaker 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 gruelling design competitions before becoming a master cabinetmaker. 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 its classic looks, storied designs and solid quality, works that are truly soulful and timeless. ~H.

Leif Hansen "Model 62" Sofa for Kronen Møbelfabrikken, Denmark, 1960s

By Leif Hansen, Kronen

Located in Utrecht, NL

Leif Hansen’s Model 62 sofa is commonly referred to as the “Geisha” and was designed in 1959. This model is a strikingly elegant example of Danish modernism’s streamlined, luxurious aesthetic appeal to contemporary eyes. This three-seater sofa is made of two types of exotic woods and dressed in a premium light fabric. Its character is created by three main elements: the visually sectioned, fully upholstered body, the wooden accents on the arms, and the distinctively shaped legs. It says a lot when a model is representative not only of a designer, but also of a manufactory. So is the case with this Geisha sofa...

Danish Modern Three-Seater Sofa with Twisted Cord Trimming, Denmark, 1940s

“Danish Modern” is a recognized term around the world standing for the characteristic style of Danish design created during the 20th century. As this elegant three-seater sofa shows, the style is characterized by clarity in design and extremely high quality in craftsmanship and choice of materials. Thanks to its subtle but pronounced curves, this sofa is inherently elegant while also keeping the warmth and cosiness that is often associated with mid-century Danish design. The standout visual element is the scalloped back that echoes the legacy of Art Deco that had a lasting influence on the Nordic countries as well. Many of the well-known Danish architects felt the urge to try their hands at “Nordic Art...
