Mid-Century Modern Sofa, Europe ca 1950s

About the Item

Mid-century design is typically characterized by clean, simple lines and honest use of quality materials. It also generally includes minimal, tasteful use of decorative embellishments. This sofa is a lovely example from this design period. The design of this sofa is gentle and elegant, and formed from timeless, refined materials. The welcoming open body is enhanced by the elegant light upholstery. The arms blend into the back with edges that slightly curve outwards, opening up the design visually. The three seat cushions section the sofa and add to the inviting look, while also providing great sitting comfort. The inviting body is supported by an expertly crafted wooden frame with tapered wooden legs that are splayed for structural purposes. Today, mid-century furniture is sought after by collectors for its classic look, storied design and solid quality, exemplified by this sofa. With its restrained aesthetic, it creates a sense of tranquillity while the masterful sense of materials and proportions guarantee functionality and comfort. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.

European Mid-Century Sofa in Black Cow Hide, Europe ca 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
This unique curved sofa is simple and striking. Despite the understated, elegant colours, this model is still an accent piece that stands out thanks to its materials and appearance. The structure relies on an interior frame covered by the upholstered fabric. In contrast to the constructivist models produced by the members of the Bauhaus, this aesthetic is more in favour of a relaxed and welcoming look. The design uses essentially geometric forms that exude warmth by the nature of the materials. The absence of arms and the ergonomic angle at which the seat and back meet creates an impression as if the sofa is opening up, enhancing both the visual and sitting comfort of the design. The crisp lines are ever so softly rounded on the edges adhering to the modernist design idioms, while the wooden lower structure and tapered legs showcase straighter lines. The black cow hide...

European Mid-Century Two Part Sofa in Black Cow Hide, Europe Ca 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
This unique curved sofa consists of two parts and whether the parts are standing next to each other or together, the design is simple and striking. The two separate part construction allows for significant versatility; the sofas can be placed close together as an accent piece, or in different parts of a space to tie the aesthetic together. Despite the understated, elegant colours, this model is still an accent piece that stands out thanks to its materials and appearance. The structure relies on an interior frame covered by the upholstered fabric.
