Mid-Century Curved Sofa by Carl-Johan Boman for Boman Oy, Finland, 1940s

About the Item

A beautifully sculpted example of early Scandinavian modernism, this curved sofa was designed by Carl-Johan Boman for Boman Oy in Finland during the 1940s. Its gently sweeping form and refined proportions reflect the era’s move toward softer, more organic design. The sofa is newly upholstered in a luxurious sheepskin imitation fabric, enhancing both its tactile warmth and visual softness. The plush texture complements the graceful curvature of the frame, making it an inviting centerpiece for any interior. Resting on subtly tapered wooden legs, the sofa offers an elegant sense of lightness and lift. A pioneer in Finnish modern design, Carl-Johan Boman was renowned for his innovative approach that seamlessly merged functionality with artistic expression. His work not only helped shape the trajectory of mid-century design in Finland but also emphasized clean lines, organic curves, and a refined sensibility that still resonates today. Boman’s visionary design ethos is evident in this piece, where every element speaks to a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and thoughtful form. In excellent vintage condition, this sofa has been sensitively restored with high-quality materials, maintaining the integrity of Boman’s original vision. A rare and timeless work by one of Finland’s most significant early modern designers.
