Curved Cloud Sofa in Earth Toned Upholstery, United States 1980s (sold)
Curved Cloud Sofa in Earth Toned Upholstery, United States 1980s (sold)
This stunning sofa embodies an era of bold, sculptural furniture with a focus on comfort and organic form. Postmodernism embraced humour, irony, and a playful approach to design, making this sofa not only functional but also a statement piece that serves to inject energy and individuality into any interior.
The sofa’s silhouette embodies the postmodern sensibilities of the 1980s, rejecting rigid geometry in favour of softened edges and playful proportions that blur the line between aesthetics and function. The decade was defined by contrasts; luxury and glamour coexisted with organic minimalism, both of which are reflected in this design. The sweeping asymmetrical curve of the body serves as the focal point, mimicking the gentle arc of a cloudbank hence the piece’s name. This cloud-like curvature is not just aesthetic; it subtly encourages a more interactive and intimate seating arrangement, making it ideal for open-plan living spaces, whether placed against a wall or in the middle of a room. Fully upholstered in a rich, earth-toned fabric, the piece exudes grounded warmth that contrasts beautifully with its airy form. The tactile texture of the upholstery further softens its voluminous shape, adding a sense of understated luxury. The colour also reflects a broader 1980s interior design trend, which often aimed to create cosy, atmospheric environments within the home.
With a sense for incredible craftsmanship and endless passion for innovation, this cloud sofa captures the essence of the 1980s design ethos, where function and form merge with whimsy. Its bold, sculptural form make this sofa an exceptional piece that stand as both art and furniture, perfect for modern interiors that value individuality and creative expression.

This sofa reflects the quiet confidence of Scandinavian design from circa 1930s, a period when modern ideas were being absorbed into more traditional forms. Swedish furniture of this era often balanced restraint with comfort, favouring clean silhouettes. Rather than chasing novelty, designers focused on proportion, usability, and longevity.
Curved sofas in general are considered statement pieces, for reasons that are eminently present in this three-seater sofa. With its classic shape paired with modern design, the generous size and fully upholstered body, it is outstanding, even when measured to the many beautiful sofas created in Sweden during the first half of the 20th century. The large, curved backrest follows the curve of the voluptuous seat, creating an inviting and open look. This shape is referred to as the ‘banana’ in furniture design, and is perfect to bring people closer together. The armrests are not independent, but rather a continuation of the back. The solid wooden legs provide perfect stability and visual appeal to the upholstered body, while balancing the sizeable body. Wood is the most important material in Swedish mid-century design, and the luxurious upholstery highlights and complements the beautiful colour of the wood.
Free from unnecessary ornamentation, the aesthetic of this three-seater sofa is sleek, elegant and modern. With its curved shape, it is perfect to break the rigour of any space, keeping the elegant appearance, elevated by the warm toned upholstery.

These chairs were created by Asko, the Finnish furniture manufacturing company founded in 1918 by Aukusti Asko Avonius, known for the production of high-quality furniture. By 1930, the company had grown to be the largest furniture chain in Finland and the largest supplier of furniture in the Nordic countries. This pair of Model “217” or “Continent” armchairs belongs to this period of Finnish furniture design, combining the generous comfort of traditional upholstered seating with a more restrained and modern appearance.
These armchairs embody comfort and elegance in equal measure. With their soft curves and rounded bodies, they cradle the sitter in a harmonious and just as stylish embrace. The defining feature of these lounge chairs is their enveloping design, which creates a sense of cosy intimacy and warmth. Each chair has a broad, rounded backrest that curves forward at the sides into the upholstered arms. The soft curves that define their shape not only evoke inviting comfort but also serve a practical purpose, as the curvature follows the natural contours of the human body. The chairs appear open and welcoming thanks to the arms and backs curving outwards, while the deep seats and generous padding emphasise their comfortable character. The soft outline of the design remains clearly defined, enhanced by the dark moss-green upholstery. The fabric has a rich, textured surface that accentuates the gentle curves and gives the chairs a warm, inviting appearance. The seats extend forward between the rounded arms, with their upholstered fronts creating a uniform image. Short wooden legs support the chairs, their warm brown colour contrasting beautifully with the green fabric. In the absence of additional ornamentation, the focus stays on the distinctive shape, supported by functionality and comfort.
As part of Asko's furniture production, the model “217” represents an interesting chapter in the development of modern seating. With their cosy appearance, distinctive bodies and appealing material combination, the armchairs bring warmth and character to an interior while retaining the comfort and practicality for which they were designed.

Simplicity, functionality, and elegance - these are the basic aspects of Danish design and accordingly, of this sophisticated easy chair as well. As a representation of early modernist seating, there is a profound focus on comfort and cosiness, that invokes a pleasant homelike feeling.
The subtle decorative qualities stemming from the early 20th century art movements and the simple lines deriving from the inter-war art movements gives the chair its elegance. Even though Scandinavian design is generally democratic and meant for the masses, pieces were not stripped of all beauty in order to make them as easy to use as possible. The importance of this balance can be identified in the design and execution of these armchairs as well. This balance is achieved through the clever use of the materials and rounded edges of the upholstered body. The exposed wood outlining the armrests’ shape is the standout design element. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of optimum importance for the cabinetmaker who created this piece, especially visible in the sculpted armrests. The pairing of the bun feet in the front and the short, tapered legs in the back is a quirky Scandinavian detail that adds more visual interest to this model.
This armchair further illustrates how modernist design can be warm and cosy despite its reputation of often cold simplicity. The elegant light wool upholstery highlights the beautiful wood lines of the armrests and the legs. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this chair is truly soulful and timeless.

Club chairs, often recognised by their deep seats, sleek lines and wide armrests, originated in French gentlemen’s clubs in the early 20th century. They were created for cosiness and relaxation, typically featuring full-body upholstery and sturdy frames that allowed for comfortable seating over extended periods of time. Attributed to Jean Saint-Georges, this pair reflects the rich history of the club chair while introducing the simpler forms associated with mid-century modernism.
These chairs each feature a strikingly voluptuous body, combining both comfort and bold aesthetics. The chairs' plushness and generously rounded arms provide an inviting and enveloping seating experience. Each armchair has a broad, deep seat framed by substantial upholstered sides that curve gently around the front. The armrests are particularly distinctive, with their softly rolled upper edges continuing towards the backrests in a smooth, uninterrupted line. The backs are wide, with separate upholstered cushions providing additional support and comfort. The low, wide seats emphasise a relaxed posture, making the chairs perfect for lounging and unwinding. The upholstery is a beautiful muted blue fabric with a soft, textured surface that accentuates the gentle curves and generous proportions of the chairs. Its uniform colour allows the shape of the bodies to remain the focus of the design. The seats are fitted with thick, rectangular cushions, while subtle piping along the edges defines the different upholstered sections. Short wooden feet remain mostly concealed beneath the chairs, subtly lifting their substantial bodies from the floor.
The curves and material choice make this a striking pair that can bring warmth and character to a variety of interiors, from a comfortable living room to a more formal lounge or library. The chairs' main decorative element is the design itself, combining traditional club chair comfort and European mid-century design, equally captivating and practical.

Ole Wanscher was a leading figure in Danish and Scandinavian design, as was A.J. Iversen. He acquired his skills at the esteemed Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi - Billedkunst Skolerne in Copenhagen. Drawing inspiration from human anatomy, Wanscher’s developments influenced the concept of Scandinavian modernism as we know it today, and his contribution to the field is widely acknowledged.
The post-war era, especially the period spanning from 1940 to 1960 resembled the golden age of Danish furniture. This set of dining chairs retains the cherished Danish modernist traits, such as simplicity and functionality, while also reflecting an ongoing precise focus on quality materials and artistry care. The allure of these dining chairs lies in the detailed backrests with the criss-cross design. The structure creates an airy and rhythmic look, further complemented by the legs’ thin figure and slight inward bend aligning perfectly with the flow of the backrest. The upholstered seats are covered in a light, blue fabric that complements the wood’s tone while providing a soft counterpoint to the structure beneath. Every detail, from the gentle sweep of the backrest to the textural contrast between materials, reflects a commitment to harmony and restraint.
The set seamlessly blends traditional precision with modern innovation, where each chair not only serves a functional purpose but also stands as a timeless work of art. With its meticulous attention to detail and premium quality wood, this set is beautiful and harmonious, and would make a charming addition to a variety of interior decor styles.

Christian Krass (1868–1957) was a French cabinetmaker and furniture designer based in Lyon, he became an important figure in the city’s decorative arts during the first half of the 20th century. His work included seating, tables, desks and cabinets, often combining carefully worked woods with the geometric forms and refined materials associated with Art Deco. This armchair, which dates back to circa 1930s, applies Krass’s skill to a compact and elegant seating design.
The armchair is defined by its exposed wooden frame, which combines straight lines with subtle curves. Four tapered legs support the upholstered seat, with the front legs continuing upward to meet the armrests and creating a clear structural outline. The armrests have a particularly interesting shape, extending horizontally into a carved element before turning downward. Their broad wooden surfaces and warm reddish-brown tone contrast with the patterned upholstery while keeping the construction clearly visible. The backrest is generously upholstered and slightly curved, with rounded upper corners that soften the otherwise geometric frame. Its shape follows naturally into the broad seat below, creating comfortable proportions within a relatively compact structure. The green and cream upholstery introduces a small repeating geometric pattern that complements the straight lines of the wood while adding texture and visual depth. The clean junctions between the legs, seat rails, arms, and back show the quality of the woodworking, with each element contributing equally to the overall composition.
The chair captures the more restrained side of French Art Deco, where decorative effect could be achieved through proportion, material and carefully controlled lines. Its scale makes it particularly suitable as a desk chair, side chair or additional seating in a living room or bedroom. It represents an interesting example of French furniture design from the 1930s.

Mid-century modern furniture introduced new approaches to seating, with designers exploring rounded silhouettes and chairs shaped closely around the sitter. This pair of European armchairs belongs to this direction, combining generous upholstery with a compact profile and short wooden legs.
Their continuous curved bodies give them a particularly soft appearance, while the low seating position creates the relaxed character associated with lounge furniture of the period. The shape of these armchairs creates an inviting and enveloping appearance. Each chair has a broad, deep seat framed by substantial upholstered arms that rise gently towards the backrest. The back is formed as a wide panel with softly rounded upper corners, curving around the sitter before flowing directly into the sides of the chair. This continuous transition between the back and arms is particularly effective when the chairs are viewed from behind, where the upholstery creates an uninterrupted curved silhouette. The olive-green fabric covers the entire body, allowing the proportions and shape to remain the focus of the design. Its textured surface gives the colour additional depth. A rectangular seat cushion sits within the upholstered body to ensure comfort for its user. Four short tapered wooden legs lift each chair just above the floor. Their warm brown tone of the wood provides a restrained contrast to the green upholstery, while their outward angle secures the broad stance of the chairs.
The designer ensured to make these chairs attractive from every direction, allowing the option to be positioned away from a wall and used more freely within a larger seating arrangement. Comfortable, compact and visually distinctive, the pair offers an appealing example of the softer forms found in European mid-century seating.

Art Deco seating from the first half of the 20th century moved towards softer and more streamlined forms, with designers focusing on curved silhouettes, generous proportions and comfort. The club chair was particularly suited to this approach, with its wide sitting area, substantial armrests and fully upholstered body.
The shape of these chairs is generously rounded, creating an inviting and enveloping appearance. The broad seats are framed by the robust armrests that curve outward at the front and continue into the sides of the chairs. Their smooth edges give the bodies a soft profile while still maintaining a clear and structured shape. The backrests are distinctive, formed as large semicircular panels that rise above the arms and create a strong central curve. The light brown upholstery is fitted across the entire body, allowing the shape and proportions to remain the focus of the design. Its warm tone also highlights the curves, as light moves gently across the rounded backs and arms. The seats are wide and deep, while the upholstered bodies create the comfortable, generous character associated with the club chair. Small wooden feet remain mostly concealed beneath the chairs, subtly lifting them from the floor without distracting from their compact volumes.
What makes this pair appealing is the way a familiar club chair is given a more individual character through bold curves. The generous proportions make them well suited to a living room, library or conversation area, either positioned together or used separately within a seating arrangement. The pair offers a strong example of the softer side of European seating design from the first half of the 20th century.

Swedish architect and furniture maker Axel Einar Hjorth worked as the lead designer for Sweden’s Nordiska Kompaniet department store from 1926 to 1938. While combining the simple, honest forms of the traditional nordic “allmoge” furniture common in Swedish rural culture, with the international 20th century Modernist movement, Hjorth designed the “Sportstugemöbler” series, (“sports cabin furnishings”) a collection of wooden furniture designed for country homes.
The “Lovö” chair was initially launched by Nordiska Kompaniet in 1932. The series was a response to a new, growing demand for furnishings for leisure houses, thus Hjorth used local pine to create a model that unites the robust and straightforward Nordic style with skilful handcrafting. The result is a modest, yet visually interesting presence with a strong and tall outline. These chairs are crafted from local pine wood, while the backrests feature iron rivets. The juxtaposition between the pine and iron provides a rustic, sturdy and resilient feel, elevating the timeless look of the model. The chairs combine simple and honest forms of the handcrafted style of traditional Nordic “allmoge” furniture, and the international 20th century Modernist movement. The seats feature loose, removable cushions, upholstered in a textured fabric. The cushions further increase the chairs’ special character, increasing both comfort and charm. The design is completed by four square, straight legs.
The “Sportstugemöbler” series had a lasting influence on Hjorth’s contemporaries, inspiring other big names within Nordic design, such as Carl Malmsten. From an international perspective, this series is the forerunner of later pioneering designs, so it comes as no surprise that these “Lovö” chairs became part of modernist design history.

Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron established Votre Maison in 1949 together with cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, and developed a distinctive body of French furniture during the post-war decades. Their work is particularly associated with solid oak, sculptural woodworking and upholstered seating, with the wooden structure often remaining clearly visible as an important part of the design. This pair of armchairs from the 1960s brings these characteristics together through expressive oak frames and generously upholstered seats and backs.
The chairs are built from solid oak frames with a particularly distinctive construction at the back. A series of vertical wooden spindles follows the curved outline of each backrest, creating an open framework that remains fully visible from behind. The spindles vary in their angle and position, giving the rear of the chairs a strong architectural rhythm while supporting the wide upholstered back cushions. These cushions curve along the backs and are finished with button tufting, adding depth to the textured striped fabric. Broad seat cushions sit above the upholstered lower sections, creating a comfortable body within the exposed wooden structure. The armrests have a gently shaped profile and extend forward to meet thick upright supports, which continue downward into curved front legs. Their rounded surfaces highlight the natural grain and warm tone of the oak. At the rear, the lower ends of the frame curve outward into small feet, adding another carved detail to the silhouette. The muted red, beige and cream tones of the upholstery complement the oak while allowing the elaborate woodworking to remain in focus.
The pair shows why Guillerme et Chambron’s seating is so recognisable within French design of the period. Their furniture gave traditional cabinetmaking a highly individual character through carved oak, unusual structural solutions and an emphasis on comfort. These armchairs are particularly effective as a pair as their open spindle backs make them interesting from every direction.

Bas van Pelt (1900–1945) was a Dutch furniture and interior designer whose work combined traditional craftsmanship with the principles of early modernism. While Van Pelt's creative work was primarily dominated by the Hague School, this armchair is the result of his more mature design period, characterised by natural materials, in order to create a friendly and inviting appearance that combines the warmth of solid oak with the distinctive texture of woven rush.
The construction of this model is simple at its core, but thanks to certain details, it is a playful representation of early Dutch modernism. While made of solid oak, this armchair has an open feel to it thanks to the horizontal spaces on the back that divide the three rush panels. The tall, slightly inclined backrest is framed by two straight wooden uprights, creating a strong vertical outline that contrasts with the more fluid shape of the armrests. The curved lines of the arms contrast nicely with the straight lines of the frame and clearly show wonderful craftsmanship. Each armrest extends outward in a gentle wave, giving the chair a particularly individual character. The rush weaving on the back adds textural interest, bringing the appealing roughness of nature to the design. Its closely arranged vertical strands create a warm, sandy surface, beautifully complemented by the oak's rich brown colour and the similar tone of the upholstery. The legs and stretchers are simple in their design, serving a primarily structural role and allowing the rush weaving and the wooden construction to stand out. The legs are connected by a gently curved wooden rail beneath the seat, while the rear supports continue naturally from the backrest. Thanks to the well-chosen proportions and the combination of natural materials, this armchair provides great comfort while maintaining a remarkable appearance.
Bas van Pelt's progressive designs were, in many ways, ahead of his time. The Dordrecht-born designer's furniture models are quite rare, with examples preserved in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Furniture pieces like this easy chair stand out through their unique textures and materials, as well as their classic charm. Its generous backrest and comfortable seat make it particularly suitable for a living room, library or reading area, where the craftsmanship can be appreciated from every angle.
