This is the longest version of the model, offering a striking presence while maintaining the light, sculptural aesthetic Jalk is known for.

The solid teak frame has been professionally refinished, revealing a rich, warm tone with beautifully expressive grain. Jalk’s masterful attention to detail is evident throughout, from the softly curved arms and sculpted back rail to the gracefully arched vertical supports that create a sense of movement and refinement. Every angle feels intentional, blending strength with organic form.

Newly reupholstered cushions in a neutral fabric provide a clean, tailored look while perfectly complementing the warmth of the teak frame. The seat offers generous comfort without compromising the sofa’s crisp, architectural lines. Tapered legs complete the design, giving it an airy, elevated stance.

Retaining its original manufacturer’s label, this piece stands as an authentic and highly collectible example of Grete Jalk’s work, ideal for anyone who appreciates vintage design. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Danish modern classic with timeless appeal.
