Danish Upholstered Two-Seater Sofa with Beech Legs, Denmark ca 1950s

About the Item

This Danish-made freestanding sofa is characterized by the best qualities of Danish mid-century design; from the restrained aesthetic to the elegant pairing of materials, this two-seater is the perfect example of how pairing Danish design, the work of a cabinetmaker, and luxurious upholstery create exceptional pieces. The design features beautifully patinated, stained beech legs. The enveloping shape of the voluminous backrest is a signature characteristic of Danish Modern sofas. The Danish design idiom was centred 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. In accordance with these qualities, this sofa was designed with the user in mind, offering great comfort for both the eyes and the body. The tufted buttons on the back give depth to the sofa, enhancing the visual appeal of the curvature. The splayed legs assure stability, while also playing an important role design-wise: they point outwards, contrasting to the inward curving body therefore balancing the whole design. Furthermore, the stained beech pairs very well with the robust medley of wool and linen fabric. The masterful sense of proportions, the curved back and the soft seat cushion guarantee functionality and comfort. Considering its structural, material and visual qualities, this two-seater sofa is the perfect illustration of why Danish mid-century design is still beloved. Thanks to the highest quality materials and its timeless elegant style, this model is certain to become an heirloom piece. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
