Restored Stressless Ekornes Montana Solid Teak Sofa in Ivory Leather

his extraordinary three-seater G-Plan sofa, conceived by K.M. Wilkins for the celebrated “Tulip Group,” is a rare rosewood rendition of an otherwise teak-centric line—and its presence is nothing short of enchanting. Originally purchased new in Glasgow, Scotland in 1970 by its only owners, it has remained in immaculate condition, carrying with it the quiet confidence of provenance and preservation. The design radiates sculptural grace. Gently molded rosewood panels unfurl like a blossoming tulip, their curves echoing natural form and mid-century modern lyricism. Against the sumptuous rosewood’s amber-red glow, the chrome Magnum Orbit casters shine like modern accents, marrying warmth with utility. Luxuriously soft velvet envelops the frame—an elusive tone hovering between olive-green and taupe-brown—that shifts subtly with light and angle, offering a tactile interplay as captivating as the design’s silhouette. Thoughtful restoration has ensured that elegance is matched by durability. The original webbing had troughed with age, so the sofa was completely disassembled. New industrial-grade 3-inch elastic strapping was installed, preserving the original foam while enhancing comfort for decades to come. Each rosewood panel and chrome detail was cleaned and polished, bringing renewed clarity—while a discreet wood crack on the left rosewood panel was expertly stabilized. Beyond its sculptural and tactile appeal, this sofa is woven into the narrative of British mid-century modern design. The “Tulip Group” represents K.M. Wilkins’ dedication to organic forms and domestic sculpture, and this rosewood example is an exceptionally rare embodiment of that philosophy. This piece is not just furniture—it is a collector’s statement, a living relic of design history, and a tactile centerpiece intended to be both admired and lived in. Whether in a gallery-quality space or a refined lounge, it asserts character and comfort in equal measure. Matching pair of lounge chairs also available and sold separately (see last pic). This incredible sofa was purchased new in Glasgow, Scotland in 1970. We acquired from the original owners who kept it in pristine condition. Designed by K.M. Wilkins for G-Plan of England, this line is appropriately named the "Tulip Group". Wilkins also designed the the well known Housemaster Chair, often misattributed to Ib Kofod Larsen. The "Tulip" design is demonstrated by the rosewood panels which are molded into curves that mimic a blossoming flower. Offered almost exclusively in teak, this rosewood set is truly a rare find. The rich, amber-red panels are perfectly complimented by the chrome hardware and velvet fabric. The luxuriously soft velvet is in amazing condition. The color is difficult to describe, but in our opinion, it's a cross between olive-green and taupe-brown. Of course the refraction of light on velvet can magnify or minimize the tones and highlights depending on the angle and environment. The sofa hovers on its original Magnum Orbit chrome...
