"Scania" two-seater sofa, designed by Folke Ohlsson for Ljungs Industrier, produced in the 1950s and 1960s. The beech wood frame is defined by slender lines, tapered legs with brass tips, and gently curved armrests that complement the contours of the upholstery. The seat and backrest are composed of separate cushions, a typical Nordic design solution that introduces greater flexibility of use and visual lightness. Folke Ohlsson was a leading exponent of Scandinavian modernism, known for his ability to combine formal elegance and industrial production. His collaboration with Ljungs Industrier resulted in well-proportioned and affordable models, contributing to the international diffusion of Swedish design in the post-World War II period. The original gray-blue wool upholstery contrasts with the warm tone of the wood. It shows minor signs of age and use. Please carefully examine the photographs. This piece has an attribution mark,
