Description
Throughout the 20th century, solid wood had been the most important furniture material in Europe. This is especially true for the mid-century, during which natural wood was a staple material to enhance both the structural and visual aspect of furniture, such as this three-seater sofa.
The cabinetmaker’s fine sense of proportion, line tension and balance between the surfaces, and how skilfully he carried in the heritage of traditional design is evident in this sofa. This model could have been originally created as a sofa bed, which is traceable in the frame’s structure. The back and arms are comprised of vertical slats, creating an airy look that pairs well with the upholstered, removable cushions. Design-wise, this sofa is in the vein of Scandinavian modernism, with simplicity and functionality, while also showcasing the subtle details and quality mid-century design is known and appreciated for. The raw and large wooden spindles comprising the back and arms are the most apparent visual feature of the sofa, while the organic pine wood gives it an elemental, interesting look. The leather seat and back cushions are beautifully framed by the structure, highlighting the straight lines of the wood and its pattern as well. The back and seat cushions are quite rotund; therefore, the sitting comfort of this model is great.
This three-seater sofa was evidently constructed with extraordinary care; the mortise and tenon joinery is impeccable, the surfaces smooth, and the stability unquestionable. This model can be used as a sofa or as a sofa bed, therefore it is versatile and can be placed in any environment to enhance the visual quality of its surroundings. The leather upholstery adds a modern edge to the natural pine wood, while keeping the rustic, mid-century look in the focus.
