About the Item

Although not marked by the maker, this exceptional, vintage (late 1970s / early 1980s) solid teak sofa has a distinctive Danish modern design but may actually be Canadian. The sofa feature 3-panels of woven reed cane that cover the sides and backs. The panels integrate exquisitely with the sculpted, carved, solid teak frames. The blade style arms slope up to create a seamless contour. The backside curls back towards the top, elevating this lounge chair amongst its peers. Our team chose a toasted nutmeg (light cognac) leather with black buttons to perfectly compliment the frame. The overall look is classic Scandinavian Modern with a stately Balinese twist. A beautifully restored example of Scandinavian modern seating, this sofa melds the warmth of solid teak with the elegance of cane detailing and the richness of leather upholstery. It measures approximately 78 inches (198 cm) in width, 32 inches (81 cm) in depth, and 30 inches (76 cm) in height, with seat height at about 17 inches (43 cm)—proportions that offer generous comfort and visual presence without dominating a room. The frame is solid teak—substantial, with deeply beautiful grain that glows under a carefully renewed finish. The sides are inset with traditional cane panels, their weave adding lightness, texture, and craftsmanship. The new leather upholstery is a deep, warm brown, full-grain quality, with a fine pebbled texture and natural sheen. Cushioning has been replaced with dense foam over original spring or webbing support, yielding a seat that feels lush yet retains proper structure. This piece works beautifully in any setting where richness of material, texture, and lineage matter: a sunlit living room, a library or evening lounge, or a gallery-like environment with mixed materials—metal, stone, glass—that contrast and enhance the wood’s warmth. The brown leather complements wood tones, brass accents, and earthy textiles. For collectors and interior designers who prize craftsmanship, mid-century Scandinavian heritage, and pieces that combine comfort with design gravitas, this sofa is rare. It offers not just seating but presence: something to settle into, something to admire, something that enriches a room for decades. Condition: VERY GOOD condition. New leather. Newer decking and support. Solid teak wood frames are in very good original condition with only minor imperfections (see pics). Detailed top to bottom. Sofa is solid and sturdy.

7-Piece John Wisner for Ficks Reed Far Horizons Rattan Modular Sofa Group
By Ficks Reed, John Wisner, John and Elinor McGuire
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This elegant modular sectional by John Wisner for Ficks Reed comes from the iconic Far Horizons collection, first introduced in 1954. Poised at the intersection of Eastern sensibility and mid-century modernity, the design blends tropical-inspired rattan craftsmanship with clean modern form, resulting in a versatile sectional that’s both sculptural and relaxed. The sofa is composed of four modular rattan segments—three seating units and one integrated end table. This flexibility allows you to configure it as a linear lounge, an L-shaped sectional, or separate chairs paired with a standalone table—the perfect match for dynamic living environments. These modular bamboo lounge chairs with end table are featured in the hard-to-find dark walnut tone. The color is so deep that it almost appears ebonized. Curved and straight lines of rattan intersect to create this trademark pagoda style. The original straps have been replaced with all new supports. Professionally reupholstered with new, textured fabric. Along with new foam cushions, our restoration team spent countless hours on the revitalizing the bamboo on all 7 pieces. We maintained the original tone and mitigated nearly every flaw in the finish. The coffee table...
