About the Item

While a sofa with a rounded shape is not ground-breaking, it has typically been reserved for people who could afford to choose an artistic style over a practical one. That is, until Nordic designers and cabinetmakers came to the picture. Nordic design is a distinctive style that represents a design philosophy. Characterized by functionality, simplicity and clean lines, this sofa’s design is all about harmony. With its free-flowing design and sculptural form, this two-seater sofa embodies Nordic mid-century designers’ approach to furniture design inspired by the freedom from convention reflected in modern art. Like most of the iconic Scandinavian sofas - think about Finn Juhl’s “46” sofa -, this model is also a “body for the body” as the curvaceous sofa embraces the seated person. The scalloped back and wing-like arms define the look. The arms have a peculiar angle thanks to which the sofa appears to be welcoming the sitter with quite literal open arms. These curves are balanced by the straight lower structure; the tapered wooden legs are splayed and are connected by the stretchers both in the front and on the sides. The dark stained wood has a stunning pattern and that stands out against the light bouclé upholstery. The looped yarn fabric’s texture is very apparent on the generous curved surfaces, from the scalloped back to the seat cushions. There’s something more playful and inviting about the rounded shapes. Embodying an organic and fluid design, this curved sofa creates a comfortable seat for two, perfect to bring stylish cosiness into any space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The sofa has been reupholstered recently in a premium bouclé fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

Swedish Mid-Century Cabinetmaker Sofa, Sweden 1950s

Located in Utrecht, NL

Svensk design, “Swedish design”, is unquestionably a conventional and popular branding device, with many companies explicitly promoting their products as examples of god design, “good design”. But svensk design does not simply represent “good” design made in Sweden, it also projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of essentialized “Swedishness” embedded in objects, such as this sofa. Rounded out lines, unexpected curvature and innovative shapes from every angle define the design of this model. The aesthetic recalls classic English upholstered furniture...
