Midcentury Danish Modern 3-Seat Sofa in Teak and Wool by Kurt Ostervig
About the Item
Very cool sofa designed by Kurt Ostervig and manufactured in the early 1960s. Classic 1960s design with low elegant lines and yet enough of a presence to anchor a living room. Covered in its original yellow wool fabric and raised on legs of solid teak. We recommend that the sofa be re-upholstered as some of the foam inside is getting porous and we can offer re-upholstery services at very competitive prices on this sofa. Sturdy and strong construction in overall very good condition.

Kurt Østervig
Kurt Ejvind Østervig was born in 1912 in Odense, Denmark. He was originally trained and worked as a shipbuilding engineer. However, by the 1930s Østervig shifted to furniture design because of his passion for woodworking.
Østervig's career as a furniture designer began at E. Knudsen’s architectural design studio in Odense. In 1947, Østervig opened his first own studio as a freelance furniture designer, with a focus on modern design. In the following decades, he worked with many of the leading Scandinavian furniture producers of the period.
Østervig was exceptionally versatile, designing furniture for hotels, cinemas, and won numerous design competitions during his career. He won awards at the Milan Triennale in 1953 and 1960. In the 1960s, one of Østervig’s designs was selected for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Østervig had a flair for the dramatic, infusing his furnishings with unique elements that stood out. From elegant, organic to coarse and purely functional furniture, his versatility earned him recognition.
