The curved form, rounded arms, channel detailing, and dark contrast piping give it a great early Scandinavian modern look. It has the softness and comfort of a traditional settee, but the overall shape feels much more sculptural and modern.

The sofa appears to retain its original or very early wool upholstery in a bold chartreuse green tone. The fabric shows age and wear, but that is also part of what gives the piece so much character. The curved back, flared arms, and compact scale make it especially easy to place in a living room, bedroom, entry, or sitting area.

A great early Danish modern piece with a lot of personality. The design has the organic, embracing quality associated with Viggo Boesen’s upholstered furniture from the period, while the unusual color and strong banana sofa form make it a standout piece.
