About the Item

It was in Denmark that Modernism reigned between the 1920s and 1960s and produced some of the most iconic pieces of furniture to this day. The Danish modernist movement was shaped by two influences. The first was the German Bauhaus; from it, Danish Modernism adopted the trend towards functionalism and this is why one of the hallmarks of Danish furniture is its simplicity. The second was an even earlier influence found in the Funkis style, an aesthetic based on softer lines and rounded shapes. Choosing to abandon ornamentation to benefit the form, the maker of this sofa maintained the beauty and warmth inherent in traditional Danish cabinetmaking. This sofa has the characteristic “open armrest” design that showcases the high level craftsmanship and the beautiful oak structure. While the design of the sofa’s body is uncomplicated, with a straight back and clean lines, the details and pairing of materials create visual interest and charm. One visually intriguing part of the structure is the way in which the arms “hug” the seat. While another striking detail is the use of the metal studs outlining the edges of the piece. The red colour of the leather upholstery compliments the tone of the oak beautifully and highlights the design movement’s characteristic use of natural materials. Danish cabinetmaker pieces like this are timeless thanks to their expert craftsmanship, their visual and material quality. In Danish design, pieces are made to last rather than to be routinely replaced, as the home is meant to enhance an unburdened lifestyle. Living well is in itself a form of art, and the furnishings of the home are supposed to complement it. This piece serves its purpose in an elegant manner, bringing the beauty of mid-century Danish design to modern interiors. While Danish creators had many principles, above all, they believed that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives. Elegant and functional, this sofa model is certain to do exactly that. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Minor scratches and marks.
