Sofa
This rare mid-century sofa, likely produced in Finland, exhibits a distinctive architectural design characterized by its low, rectangular profile and a robust mahogany base. The base is composed of solid, block-like supports that impart a grounded and sculptural quality to the piece while adhering to the geometric simplicity emblematic of Nordic functionalism in the 1960s. The mahogany displays a warm tone with a clearly visible grain, contributing both to the structural presence and visual richness of the sofa.
The upholstery is newly applied in a dark grey wool fabric, offering a subtle yet effective contrast to the mahogany frame. The design features firm, squared armrests and a continuous seat and backrest, emphasizing clean, linear forms. This minimal upholstery treatment aligns with Scandinavian modernism’s preference for simplicity, function, and understated elegance.
Though the designer remains unidentified, the sofa’s construction and stylistic choices resonate strongly with Finnish mid-century furniture traditions, reflecting the region’s architectural sensitivity and dedication to material integrity. The emphasis on horizontal lines and balanced proportions is typical of post-war Scandinavian design, combining modernist ideals with timeless craftsmanship.
The sofa is in excellent condition, with pristine upholstery and well-maintained wooden components. Its dimensions are 200 cm in width, 70 cm in depth, and 79 cm in height (approximately 78.7 x 27.6 x 31.1 inches), with a seat height of 40 cm (15.7 inches).
