Sofa

This rare sofa was produced in Denmark during the 1960s and is an exemplary expression of mid-century Scandinavian design, merging honest materiality with a rigorous yet inviting geometry. The structure is built from solid pine, showcasing a pronounced grain pattern and rich golden tone, with a visibly hand-finished surface and refined joinery details such as exposed dovetails. The modular form emphasizes horizontality and volume, lending the piece a low and grounded profile while preserving a sense of clarity and visual warmth.

The frame is composed of straight-grained pine panels that wrap around the sides and base in a box-like fashion, with softly rounded vertical and horizontal edges that temper the structure’s rectilinearity. The back and sides are flush and paneled, underscoring the architectural presence of the piece. The seating elements are upholstered in original charcoal-grey wool fabric, tailored into firm, deep cushions with button tufting that provide both structure and comfort. The upholstery contrasts effectively with the warmth of the pine and introduces a cool neutrality to the overall composition.

Although the designer remains unidentified, the piece bears strong affinities with Danish modernist ideals of material integrity and functionalist aesthetics. The detailing and proportions reflect the Danish interest in craftsmanship and the use of natural materials rendered in a rational, understated language.

The set is in good vintage condition, showing signs of usage and patina consistent with age. There are subtle marks on the wood, light wear to the upholstery, and evidence of use to the seating surfaces, but no structural damage or major flaws.

The sofa measures 250 centimeters in width, 85 centimeters in depth, and 63 centimeters in height, with a seat height of 35 centimeters. These dimensions convert to approximately 98.4 inches wide, 33.5 inches deep, and 24.8 inches high, with a seat height of 13.8 inches. The accompanying easy chair mirrors the sofa’s proportions and design language, making the set suitable for a cohesive living area centered around tactile warmth, structural simplicity, and mid-century Scandinavian design sensibilities.
