20th century Denmark was a mid-century design hotspot. Simplicity, functionality, and elegance - these are the basic principles of Danish design. From furniture, to architecture, fashion and jewellery, 20th century Danish designers excelled in their craft. The design of this three-seater mid-century modern Danish sofa encompasses its era’s ethos.

Visually, this sofa represents Danish modernism by rejecting the common design choices of styles from the past, such as heavy ornamentation and the prioritisation of form over function. The soft, tan coloured upholstery stands out, adding to the modern elegance and cosiness of this piece. The design elements of this sofa - from the curved lines, to the dark wood and luxurious upholstery - not only create an intimate gathering place, but also define the look of a room whilst keeping the warmth and cosiness that is often associated with mid-century design. The design of this sofa aims to maximise comfort while putting an emphasis on elegance and refinement. This is most visible in the round, welcoming body that remains visually arresting with the added two lines of nine tufted buttons, enhanced by the luxurious fabric the sofa is covered in. The short stained beech wood legs add a modern, organic feel, balancing out the voluptuous profile of the sofa. 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 three-seater sofa is proof of Nordic designers’ craft, aided by the master cabinetmakers’ skill, who helped manifest their ideas. This piece serves its purpose in an elegant, comfortable, and stylish manner, bringing the beauty of mid-century Danish design to modern interiors.
