About the Item
While Danish design was also influenced by international exchanges and therefore trends, its modern qualities are timeless virtues originating from national traditions of simple functionality and crafts-based refinements.
The idea of Danish design representing a special route to modernity while preserving tradition was based on the teaching of Kaare Klint and on a special alliance between Copenhagen cabinetmakers and young functionalist architects. This can be easily seen in this sofa with its gentle curviness and impeccable quality. The design directs the eyes to the voluptuous, fully upholstered body with a classic shape that is referred to as the “banana”, which is a timeless style thanks to its practical and stylish look. In combination with the unadorned style of Danish mid-century modern design, the fabric’s texture and the curves serve as the main decorative elements. This streamlined, modernist version of the Art Deco’s banana sofa has an inherent cosiness that defines the Danish notion of “hygge”. The matching accent pillow further adds to the stylish, cosy impression and adds extra depth. The solid wood legs have a beautiful colour and grain, injecting the organic material into the design. The mismatched feet are a fun detail: the front ones are spherical bun feet, while the back ones are straight.
Visually, these three-seater sofas represent Danish Modernism in a couple of ways: the design rejects the traditional elements of styles of the past, such as heavy ornamentation and visual historicism. The light bouclé upholstery stands out, but it isn’t loud, instead, it adds to the modern elegance and cosiness that define the aesthetic.
