Danish Three-Seater Sofa in Sheepskin with Stained Beech Legs, Denmark ca 1940s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
The Danish Modern movement was not just an artistic response to the changing times but a reflection of the country’s ethos – simplicity, functionality, and a harmonious connection with nature. It was in this environment that the seeds of the Danish Modern movement were sown, eventually growing into a design philosophy that would transcend borders, influencing architects, designers, and homeowners across continents.

The design elements of this sofa - from the curving lines, to the dark wood and luxurious upholstery - not only create an intimate gathering place, but also define the look of a room. The enveloping shape is very apparent, enhanced by the slightly inward curving backrest and voluptuous seat. Visually, this three-seater sofa represents Danish modernism in several ways; mainly, it rejects the traditional elements of styles of the past, such as heavy ornamentation and visual historicism. The sheepskin upholstery stands out, adding to the modern elegance and cosiness of this piece. This sofa’s form draws users back to the idea of design as an intelligent problem-solving of a space, rather than vapid styling. The 20th century Nordic designers were masters at achieving this, aided by the craftsmanship skill of cabinetmakers who helped to manifest their ideas.

In Danish design, things are made to last rather than to be replaced, as the home is meant to enhance an unburdened lifestyle. Living well is in itself a form of art, and furniture design is meant to complement it. This sofa is ideal to serve this purpose in an elegant, comfortable, and stylish manner.
