Norwegian Two-Seater Sofa in the manner of Finn Juhl, Norway 20th Century

About the Item

Though their country has a long tradition of craftsmanship, for numerous reasons mid-century Norwegian designers never gained the same international renown as their peers in neighbouring nations, such as Denmark’s Finn Juhl. But as this sofa exemplifies, when modernism reached the country, exceptional pieces were created. The form of this sofa is its standout feature, it combines straight and flowing lines masterfully, while staying true to Scandinavian modernism. While the edges are crisp, the rest of the body has a gentle curvature that maintains the overall cosy look. This piece is reminiscent of Finn Juhl’s “Poet” sofa model, linking furniture with sculpture. The arms feature a peculiar upward sloping angle thanks to which the sofa appears to be welcoming the sitter with open arms. These curves are balanced by the straight lower structure; the tapered wooden legs that are splayed. These tapered legs support the body impeccably, with the solid wood providing stability and support to the design. In the absence of ornamentation, the lines of tufted buttons on the backrest stand out, creating depth as they sink into the soft earthy-brown fabric. A functional anchor piece is all that is needed to introduce mid-century modern furniture to any interior, and this two-seater sofa is perfect to fill that role. There’s something inherently more playful and inviting about curved and rounded shapes. Embodying an organic and fluid design, this curved sofa creates a comfortable seat for two, perfect to bring stylish cosiness into a space. Juhl once said "One cannot create happiness with beautiful objects, but one can spoil quite a lot of happiness with bad ones", and this sofa will most definitely not spoil any happiness in the interior where it’s placed.
