About the Item
This beautiful Danish two-seater sofa recalls the peak of Danish Mid-Century Modern design. Thanks to its curved shape, this three-seater is exceptionally cosy and elegant. Curved sofas like this are statement pieces in any space, but they are also called conversation sofas for a reason.
Thanks to its crescent shape, this sofa is designed to bring people closer together to create a cosy atmosphere, which is a core concept of Danish design. The visual appearance of this sofa however, is not the only thing that echoes Danish design, but also the exquisite craftsmanship under the upholstered body. Many of the well-known Danish architects of the era felt the urge to try their hand at three-seater sofas, adhering to the period’s streamlined modernism. In combination with the unadorned styles of mid-century design, this sofa brings together the best attributes of the era. The short, stained beech legs add a modern, organic feel, balancing out the voluptuous profile of the sofa. The front legs differ in their angle from the back ones, adding visual interest, while the masterful sense of proportions and the soft upholstery guarantee functionality and comfort. The pillow is a playful addition that highlights the sofa’s beautiful curvature.
This two-seater sofa has been reupholstered in a premium bouclé fabric, accentuating the wooden legs and the luxurious feel and look. The twisted wool fibres are incredibly durable, and the fabric brings an additional layer of interest to a space. Furthermore, the material pairs incredibly with curvilinear shapes, as evidenced by this sofa.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The sofa has been reupholstered recently in a premium bouclé fabric.

About the Designer:
This Danish-made sofa reflects the core traditions and ideals of Danish design. Mid-century pieces such as this sofa were of great design, using fantastic wood like teak or beech. The era was the heyday of the production by master craftsmen.
Mid-century Danish design is world-famous for the partnership between designer and manufacturer, resulting in ground-breaking creations. The Danish design idiom was centred on warm woods, quality fabrics and gentle yet robust support for the spine - qualities that engender contentment and well-being, a defining characteristic of Danish culture. The “Great Danes” believed furniture should be shorn of aesthetic detail and be an amalgam of form and function.
A master cabinet-maker is not a carpenter, as this was a rare breed of craftsman who had to be recognised by the Danish government after several years of toiling at his craft, as well as having to ace gruelling design competitions before becoming a master cabinet-maker. Since Denmark was a special instance of tempered industrialization, it managed to preserve sound traditions and continue to safeguard values of craftsmanship, materiality and usability.
Today, Danish furniture is sought after by collectors for classic looks, storied designs and solid quality, works that are truly soulful and timeless. ~H.
