About the Item

Inspired by the cultural examples of the European country manor and rustic styles, European cabinetmakers’ furniture were endowed with a creative simplicity, with a feeling for the wood itself, with function in mind and a high technical quality. This sofa is a beautiful example of this sentiment. Throughout the 20th century, solid wood had been the most important furniture material in Europe. This is especially true for the mid-century era, during which natural wood was a staple material to enhance both the structural and visual aspect of furniture, such as this three-seater sofa. The cabinetmaker’s fine sense of proportion, line tension and balance between the surfaces, and how skilfully he carried in the heritage of traditional design is evident in this sofa. The back and base are comprised of vertical slats, creating an airy look that pairs well with the upholstered, removable bouclé cushions. Design-wise, this sofa is in the vein of Scandinavian modernism, with simplicity and functionality, while also showcasing the subtle details and quality mid-century design is known and appreciated for. The raw and large wooden slats comprising most of the frame are the most apparent visual features of this sofa, while the organic wood - with craved forms on the arm support and legs - gives it an elemental, modern look. The bouclé pillows, seat and back cushions are beautifully framed by the structure, highlighting the colour and texture of the wood and its pattern as well. This three-seater sofa was evidently constructed with extraordinary care; the traditional joinery technique is impeccable, the surfaces smooth, and the stability unquestionable. This model can be placed in any environment to enhance the visual quality of its surroundings. The upholstery adds a modern edge to the natural wood, while keeping the rustic, mid-century look in the focus. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some minor scratches and discolouration on the wood. The sofa’s cushions and pillows have been reupholstered recently in a 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.
