Folke Jansson 'Tellus' Sofa in Dusty Rose Upholstery

About the Item

Folke Jansson, sofa model 'Tellus', fabric, wood, brass, Sweden, 1956. Exquisite sofa designed by the Swedish designer Folke Jansson, featuring graceful lines that captivate the eye. Four subtly carved wooden legs are adorned with a touch of brass at their tips. The armrests seamlessly encircle the back, while the back's edge reveals a splendid curvature, enhancing the overall allure of this design. We currently have another Tellus sofa in stock in a dark blue upholstery. Please note that we advise reupholstery before use. This item contains threadbare upholstery with loose seams and small stains. Reupholstery can be done before shipping by our experienced craftspeople in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece retains its value and is ready for the many years to come. We kindly ask you to contact our design experts for further information about the endless possibilities our restoration and upholstery atelier has to offer. Of course, a locally organized reupholstery is possible as well.

"Orion" Sofa by Folke Jansson for SM Wincrantz, Sweden 1950s
