About the Item

The designer of this sofa pair evidently attached great and equal importance to form and function. With an open design profile, this two-seater model carries with it some of the fundamental characteristics and ideals of mid-century modernism. Clutter-free and disciplined, they are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing. The round shape is reminiscent of the Artifort style in that it has a sinuous and expressive quality that is harmonious and organic. There is also a certain quiet power to the design that is pared-down to the essential, exuding simplicity and timelessness. The open construction is made up of the generous seat cushion and the large back that flows towards the front to form the shell of the seat. This creates an inviting and open look which is a signature characteristic of mid-century modernism. Thanks to the sinuous, large surfaces, the velour fabric dominates the overall look, accentuating the round shapes and curves. The short, splayed legs prevent the sofas from looking heavy by slightly lifting them off the ground, while their warm brown colour nicely compliments the elegant colour of the body. Without any ornamentation, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines of the body and the upholstery. From the muted colour scheme to the material choices, this streamlined design is essentially mid-century modern and therefore, can add that cosy charm into any space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The sofas are upholstered in a brown velour fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.

Svensk design, “Swedish design”, is unquestionably a conventional and popular branding device, with many companies explicitly promoting their products as examples of god design, “good design”. But svensk design does not simply represent “good” design made in Sweden, it also projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of essentialized “Swedishness” embedded in objects, such as this sofa and armchairs. Rounded out lines, unexpected curvature and innovative shapes from every angle define the design of this set. The aesthetic recalls classic English upholstered furniture...
