About the Item

A sculptural Swedish two-seater sofa, model “Tellus,” designed by Folke Jansson for SM Wincrantz, Skövde. Mid-20th century. The curved backrest flow into slender, slightly flared armrests, creating a soft, organic silhouette. Upholstered in its original gold-toned jacquard fabric with a delicate foliate motif, the sofa rests on elegant stained beech legs ending in brass sabots. Sold as-is, upholstery will most likely need to be redone but frame is 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.
