Swedish Modern Angular Three-Seater Sofa with Solid Wood Legs, Sweden, 1940s

About the Item

The design of this gorgeous angular sofa recalls the distinctive shapes of the Art Deco period, while also possessing the characteristics of a true Swedish Modern design. Thanks to its distinctive shape, this sofa is exceptionally elegant, a true statement piece. Upon hearing the expression “Swedish Modern”, many people conjure up images of sleek furniture made from natural materials. In reality, Swedish Modern isn’t far from this idea, however, it is not simply an exercise in nostalgia, it is this sofa: uncluttered, timeless elegance, with an impeccable quality of material and craftsmanship. In combination with the unadorned style of mid-century modern design, this sofa brings together some of the best elements of Art Deco and Modernism. Starting with its masterful pairing of round and sharper edges and the absence of arms, this three-seater sofa has an open design with a clear focus on its materials. The fully upholstered body is sectioned by the fabric lines to highlight the structure and its versatile angles. Unlike most banana sofas, this model has a more rectangular outline with sharper angles. As a result, it appears more sleek and elegant, commanding the space around it. At the same time, the restrained colour palette makes it suitable for any style of space. The short, lightly tapered legs are made of solid wood and provide great structural stability thanks to their arrangement. The sofa is supported by two conical legs in the front and three in the back. The visual appearance of this sofa echoes Swedish Modern design and directs the eyes to the voluptuous body, that is the result of the exquisite craftsmanship. Like their Danish contemporaries, many of the well-known Swedish designers of the era felt the urge to try their hand at three-seater sofas, adhering to the period’s streamlined modernism.
