About the Item

After the end of World War I, the Art Deco design movement - taking inspiration from its predecessors - brought the glamour, luxury and faith in social progress needed to rebuild the post-war spirit. Despite Art Deco’s wide appeal, design moved towards the pursuit of the mid-century modern emphasis on functionality and practical simplicity. This transitional phase between the two iconic design styles brought us modern pieces that still retain the escapist glamour of the interwar period, such as this 1940’s sofa. Toeing the line between bold elegance and straightforwardness, this two-seater sofa embodies the skill and craft of 20th century Danish cabinetmakers. The back, seat and armrests of this piece are upholstered in a soft, vivid red mohair fabric, maintaining versatility of its use while also setting it apart through its vibrant liveliness. While the design of the sofa’s body is uncomplicated, with a straight back and clean lines, the details and pairing of materials create visual interest and charm. When looked at from the front, the armrests seem to be flowing into the sofa’s two front legs, as they feature an overlay of wood in the same stain. The decorative metal studs further add to the look, while also helping the eye transition from the body to the sofa’s legs. The four rectangular wooden legs are tall and slender, creating balance and offering a lighter feel. These details elevate this piece from a simple loveseat to a piece that adds a unique touch of personality welcomed in any interior. This two-seater sofa, with its perfectly balanced aesthetic, is a fine example of the transitional nature of its era. Not only this, but it masterfully exemplifies both great design and beautiful manufacture, which come together to create a lovely decorative and functional element. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The sofa has been reupholstered recently in a premium mohair 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.
