About the Item

A classic love-seat sofa by Danish designer and cabinetmaker: Alfred Christensen and produced by his own company: Slagelse Mobelvaerk in the city of Slagelse, Denmark. This example has been reupholstered and restored by our team of experts in London. ____ Alfred Christensen made his name as lead designer, cabinetmaker and owner of the famed furniture makers: Slagelse Møbelværk which he founded with his brother Alfred in 1931. As head of design, he had a great eye for up and coming architects in Denmark, commissioning work from the likes of: Arne Vodder, Kurt Olsen, Ib Kofod-Larsen and Nils & Eva Koppel. His own designs epitomised the middle-ground between classical and modernist styles which defined the post-war period in Denmark. He had a particular talent for creating functional yet sophisticated upholstered sofas and armchairs and as a manufacturer Slagelse became renowned for their quality of craftsmanship
