About the Item

This beautiful Swedish three-seater sofa recalls the distinctive curves of the Art Deco period, while material and cabinetmaking-wise being a true Swedish Modern design. Thanks to its curved shape, this sofa is exceptionally cosy and elegant, a statement piece that is also referred to as a conversation sofa. The term Swedish Modern was quickly established as a reinterpretation of modernity during the 1940s, and in the new Swedish Modern style, early and square functionalism was replaced by a freer and more artistic ideal. Swedish Modern furniture is popular because it speaks to both our tidy tendencies and our desire to live in inviting and comfortable settings. 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 unmistakeable of the era’s design in Sweden. The rich texture of the cosy upholstery gives the sofa a modern edge while also enhancing the generous size of the seat and back. The body is supported by two front, and three back legs in a dark brown colour. This gorgeous sofa further illustrates how modernist design can be warm and cosy despite its reputation of often cold simplicity. The modern design movement made the Swedish form widely known and this second generation of 'functionalists' affirmed craftsmanship, tradition, and history. The new style, in which this three-seater conversation sofa was also created, signalled both status, unassuming and sensitive awareness right up to the 1960s. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The sofa has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.
