About the Item

This Kandidaten three-seater sofa was designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen and manufactured in Sweden by Olof Person in 1962. Constructed from solid teak this iconic design features cylindrical tapered legs with long bowed armrests that flash exceptional old-growth woodgrains. Whilst the wooden frame is in 100% original, vintage condition the cushions have been replaced with high-quality medium density foam for maximum comfort and recovered in a fabulous white cotton bouclé by Knoll perfectly offsetting the rich woodgrains. This timeless design is the perfect mixture of minimalism and comfort and when it's gone it's gone forever. Make it yours today.

Model 333 Three-Seater Sofa in Solid Beech by Schou Andersen, Denmark, c. 1980s
By Preben Schou Andersen
Located in Deland, FL
This elegant Model 333 three-seater sofa by Schou Andersen embodies the refined simplicity of Danish Mid-Century Modern design from the 1980s. Crafted from solid beech, the frame showcases the wood’s smooth texture and warm, honeyed tones, with clean lines and subtle curves that highlight its Scandinavian aesthetic. The original floral upholstery, featuring a delicate pattern in soft, earthy hues, adds a touch of vintage charm while complementing the beech’s natural beauty. The sofa’s slatted backrest and ergonomic design ensure both comfort and style, making it a versatile piece for a modern living space or a collector’s curated interior. Produced by Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, this sofa reflects the company’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless design, capturing the essence of late 20th-century Danish furniture. Schou Andersen, often associated with the broader legacy of Danish furniture design, refers to the work produced by Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, a prominent manufacturer in Denmark during the mid-to-late 20th century. While specific details about an individual designer named Schou Andersen are scarce, the name is tied to the company’s output, which often featured collaborations with renowned designers like Kai Kristiansen. Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik was known for producing high-quality furniture, including dining chairs, tables, and sofas, that exemplified the Danish Modern movement’s emphasis on functionality, minimalist forms, and natural materials like teak, rosewood, and beech. Their pieces, including the Model 333 sofa, gained recognition for their durability and elegant design, contributing to the global popularity of Scandinavian furniture. Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, established in Denmark during the mid-20th century, was a respected manufacturer known for its role in the Danish Modern movement. The company produced a wide range of furniture, often collaborating with notable designers such as Kai Kristiansen, who designed iconic pieces like the Model 42 dining chairs for them. Operating primarily from the 1950s through the 1980s, Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik specialized in crafting furniture from premium woods like teak, rosewood, oak, and beech, focusing on clean lines, ergonomic design, and meticulous craftsmanship. The Model 333 sofa, manufactured by Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, reflects their dedication to creating functional yet aesthetically refined pieces that remain cherished by collectors today. The company’s legacy endures through its timeless designs, which continue to be celebrated in the vintage furniture market. ---Dimensions--- Width: 72 in / 182.88 cm Depth: 27 in / 68.58 cm Height: 31 in / 78.74 cm Seat Height: 18 in / 45.72 cm Arm Height: 30 in / 76.2 cm This splendid three-seater sofa by Schou Andersen is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection.
