Seat height 18 inches. lhSX Stendig Co. played a pivotal role in introducing modern European furniture to the American market, thanks to the business acumen of founder Charles Stendig. Around 1950, the Brooklyn, New York–born Stendig (b. 1924) worked for Raymor, a purveyor of modern china and accessories that is best known for distributing designer Russel Wright’s American Modern line of ceramics. While at Raymor, Stendig focused on the company’s less popular pieces that were made in Italy and Scandinavia, recognizing their potential for the American market. In 1955, he left the company and decided to establish Stendig Co. In 1956, the first Stendig Co. showroom opened in Manhattan. A year later, during a trip to Zurich, Stendig came across a Bauhaus–inspired furniture store featuring pieces by Swiss designers Kurt Thut, Hans Eichenberger and Robert Haussmann, the store’s co-owner. Following a meeting with Haussmann, Stendig became the retailer’s exclusive U.S. distributor. Throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, Stendig Co. imported and sold furniture...

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...

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. Jansson is a designer who is difficult to define, being the creator of daily objects which are far from the organic forms of Alvar Aalto, and yet not aiming for the minimalism of Arne Jacobsen or Poul Kjaerholm. His experimentation has led him to play both with the free forms embedded into materials, and with the geometric shapes superimposed on them. This ‘Orion’ sofa...
