Swedish Mid-Century Modern Sofa, Sweden ca 1940s
About the Item
Designed in the early phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, this charming sofa is a unique example of how traditional Swedish craftsmanship was brought into modernism. A functional anchor piece is all that is needed to introduce mid-century modern flair to any interior.
The Swedish perspective on cabinetmaking is exceptional, which is why the country’s cabinetmakers’ craft remains world-famous. As an essentially Swedish Modern piece, this sofa is built around the core characteristics of the style: gently rounded edges, solid wooden legs, and a generous fully upholstered body. Accordingly, this sofa has a very precise, defined outline, accentuated by the visually sectioned back. There is a great balance in the design, which is achieved through the clever use of the straight and rounded edges of the upholstered body and the short wooden legs. The curving back and armrests are welcoming, and the rich texture of the upholstery gives the sofa a modern edge, while also enhancing the generous size of the seat and back. There is something more inviting about rounded shapes, which is true for the legs as well. The splayed, dark-stained wood legs further add to the modern, cosy feel, balancing out the voluptuous profile of the sofa. In combination with the unadorned styles of mid-century design, this sofa brings together the best attributes of the era. The masterful sense of proportion guarantees functionality and comfort.
Swedish master cabinetmakers have been creating products that last for a lifetime and become heirlooms. Crafted with precision from solid wood, finished with attention to detail and care for the aesthetic dimension, this sofa stands the test of time thanks to both its visual and material quality.
