About the Item

A sculptural Swedish two-seater sofa, model “Tellus,” designed by Folke Jansson for SM Wincrantz, Skövde. Mid-20th century. The curved backrest flow into slender, slightly flared armrests, creating a soft, organic silhouette. Upholstered in its original gold-toned jacquard fabric with a delicate foliate motif, the sofa rests on elegant stained beech legs ending in brass sabots. Sold as-is, upholstery will most likely need to be redone but frame is in excellent condition.

"Orion" Sofa by Folke Jansson for SM Wincrantz, Sweden 1950s

By Folke Jansson, SM Wincrantz 1

Located in Utrecht, NL

Sweden contributed to the progression of form and function in its own way, based on long-standing traditions, natural resources, and the critical - yet often coincidental - availability of creative genius. Folke Jansson was certainly one of the latter, designing unique forms with an artistic touch.
