With its sculptural silhouette, generously curved wooden armrests and distinctive cylindrical headrests, the design has a wonderfully bold yet remarkably elegant presence.

this two-and-a-half-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 overall vintage condition, with natural creasing and visible signs of age and use to the leather and frame, as shown in the photographs. These include some areas of wear to the leather, particularly around the armrests and headrests, consistent with its age and previous use.

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.
