Sofa

This rare sofa or daybed, most likely produced in Sweden during the 1940s, is an elegant example of early Scandinavian modernism. The piece features a solid mahogany base with gently tapered legs supporting a generously upholstered seat and two raised, rounded ends. The form balances symmetry and softness, creating a sculptural silhouette that combines comfort with refined proportion.

The sofa retains its original fabric in a light beige tone with a subtle geometric texture. The seat and backrest are deeply tufted with matching fabric-covered buttons, contributing to both visual rhythm and durability. The upholstery’s patina and wear are consistent with age and use, giving the piece an authentic period character.

The 1940s marked a transitional period in Scandinavian furniture design, moving away from the ornamented aesthetics of the interwar years toward a modern, human-centered approach. This piece embodies that shift—its organic contours, craftsmanship, and restrained elegance reflect the functionalist ideals that came to define mid-century Scandinavian design.

The daybed remains in good vintage condition, showing natural signs of wear and patina to the wood and fabric.
