This two-seater combines deep black leather upholstery with a dark solid wooden frame. The broad, sweeping armrests and cantilevered construction give the sofa a particularly expressive character, while the loose cylindrical headrests add both comfort and visual balance.

The sofa is in good vintage condition. The leather shows some natural creasing and minor signs of age and use, as visible in the photographs, consistent with its vintage character.

A beautiful Scandinavian design classic that works equally well as a statement piece in a contemporary interior or as part of a sophisticated vintage collection.
