‘Facet’ Sofa by Folke Jansson, Sweden, 1957

About the Item

Rare 'Facet' sofa by Folke Jansson for S.M. Wincrantz Möbelindustri AB, Skövde Sweden 1957. Very rare model of which only eight copies where produced as a jubileum model. This one of the eight first productions from 1957. Very radical design especially for that time and for the Swedish design tradition. The sofa is completely restored; we preserved the original spring cords but tightened them and used new foam. For the upholstery we choose a neutral 100% soft woolen fabric to make a nice contrast with the hard graphic lines. The sofa can best be used as a daybed. Wonderful and highly collectible piece in excellent condition.

"Orion" Sofa by Folke Jansson for SM Wincrantz, Sweden 1950s
By SM Wincrantz 1, Folke Jansson
Located in Utrecht, NL
Sweden contributed to the progression of form and function in its own way, based on long-standing traditions, natural resources, and the critical - yet often coincidental - availability of creative genius. Folke Jansson was certainly one of the latter, designing unique forms with an artistic touch. Jansson is a designer who is difficult to define, being the creator of daily objects which are far from the organic forms of Alvar Aalto, and yet not aiming for the minimalism of Arne Jacobsen or Poul Kjaerholm. His experimentation has led him to play both with the free forms embedded into materials, and with the geometric shapes superimposed on them. This ‘Orion’ sofa...
