This unique piece is a classic example of Danish modernism, combining functionality with refined form. The sofa's design attracts the eye with its geometric, dynamic Z-shaped armrests, which flow seamlessly into the legs. The sofa's slender frame is crafted from teak in a deep, warm shade of brown, highlighting the natural beauty of the material and the craftsmanship of the joinery. It is upholstered in an original green fabric reminiscent of the 1950s, contrasting with the warm tone of the wood. Due to its museum-quality character, we decided against using new upholstery. The geometric yet visually lightweight structure emphasizes the design's harmony. Thanks to the built-in reclining mechanism, it easily transforms into a functional bed. This sofa is an icon of Danish design, with a dynamic silhouette and unique side profile. The sofa is also a development of the iconic Z Chair. Jensen's designs for Selig combine the minimalism typical of Danish modernism with an American passion for comfort and spacious forms. The sofa aligns with the Danish MCM design aesthetic with its minimalist, functional, yet expressive and powerful form. It's a piece of furniture that not only impresses but also offers comfort, making it an excellent choice for both vintage and contemporary interiors.
