Flemming Lassen sofa

This rare sofa, designed by Flemming Lassen and produced by cabinetmaker Jacob Kjær in Denmark during the 1940s, is a refined example of mid-century Scandinavian design. The piece features soft, organic curves and an emphasis on craftsmanship typical of the era. The gently curved backrest and symmetrical armrests merge smoothly into a cohesive silhouette, enhanced by evenly spaced button tufting that adds delicate detail without disrupting the minimalist aesthetic.

The sofa stands on four solid ash legs that are subtly tapered and angled outward, lending both stability and an elegant posture. Upholstered in its original beige velvet mohair fabric, the sofa exhibits a natural patina, which adds to its authenticity and vintage character.

Flemming Lassen was a leading Danish architect and designer renowned for combining functionalism with sculptural softness, and his collaborations with master cabinetmakers like Jacob Kjær resulted in furniture of outstanding quality and timeless appeal. Jacob Kjær’s craftsmanship is evident in the precise joinery and careful material selection.

Measuring 155 cm in width, 78 cm in depth, and 75 cm in height (61 x 30.7 x 29.5 inches), with a seat height of 42 cm (16.5 inches), this sofa is a rare and elegant representation of Danish mid-century modernism.
