Description
Step into a world of timeless elegance with this stunning early mid century sofa, a Scandinavian treasure from the late 1930s to early 1940s. Imagine yourself sinking into the plush, rich tan shearling (yes, real sheepskin) that feels like a warm hug on a crisp winter day. The cognac leather button-tufted back adds a touch of old-world charm, reminiscent of grand libraries and classic films. This sofa isn't just furniture; it's an experience, a portal to a bygone era of sophistication and style.

Picture the front legs, chunky and rectangular, grounding this masterpiece with a sense of stability and strength. The back legs, splayed out diagonally with playful angularity, whisper of Danish whimsy and design ingenuity. This piece is a dance of form and function, a perfect blend of master craftsmanship and artistic flair.

But wait, there's more to this story. Enter the realm of A.J. Iversen, a Danish cabinetmaker renowned for his impeccable craftsmanship and collaborations with top designers. His work often carries a refined elegance, making each piece a statement of quality and taste. Then there's Jacob Kjaer, a maestro of minimalist design whose creations epitomize Scandinavian modernism with their sleek lines and functional beauty. And let's not forget Mogens Lassen, whose visionary approach turned everyday furniture into sculptural art. His collaborations with Iversen are legendary, pushing the boundaries of what furniture could be.

As you sink into this sofa, feel the history envelop you. Imagine the countless stories it has witnessed, the conversations, the laughter, the quiet moments of reflection. The patina on the beechwood legs and the well-worn leather buttons tell tales of a rich past, of a piece that has been cherished and adored through the decades. This sofa is more than just a place to sit; it's a gateway to another time, an invitation to slow down and savor the beauty of craftsmanship.

We've seen this sofa attributed to A.J. Iversen and Jacob Kjaer for Fritz Hansen, and other sources attributing the design to Mogens Lassen for A.J. Iversen. It may be unclear who specifically designed this sofa, but what's crystal clear is that it's absolutely stunning! A wonderful Danish modern piece that would look incredible in any home!
