Swedish Modern Two-Seater Sofa, Sweden 1940s

About the Item

This beautiful Swedish two-seater sofa is an early example of Nordic mid-century modern design and of outstanding craftsmanship with a quality that honours the materials and their users. Swedish Modern is an inheritance coming from a rich tradition of beauty loving people who were courageous enough to break away from the past to entertain new forms of living. The main principles of Swedish Modernism centre around minimalism, simplicity, and functionalism. This sofa not only follows these principles, but also offers plenty of visually arresting qualities. Starting from the curved wooden armrests covered in fabric, the tufted backseat adorned with buttons in a diamond shape to the decorative carvings on the front legs. The clean and elegant lines of the design let the original upholstery and the solid wood legs and arms stand out. This is especially apparent in the front, where the arms and legs are formed from a single piece of wood. The expert Swedish craftsmanship, - rooted in traditional folk crafts - is clearly visible throughout the structure. The soft upholstery and the voluptuous, loose seat cushion guarantee comfort. The mix of the bold, yet restrained colours and the smooth edges and lines of the wood were used expertly to create an elegant, arresting piece. Nordic textiles are beloved, people around the globe are fascinated by the eccentric and classic designs. However, it is rare to find a sofa with its original, stunning upholstery in such a good condition, which is why this model is an exceptional find. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. This sofa comes with its original upholstery or has been reupholstered by a previous owner. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
