  • Alfred Christensen Three-Seater Sofa for Slagelse Møbelfabrik, Denmark 1940s
    By Alfred Christensen
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    Danish Modern focused more on the aesthetics of modern design whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen known as cabinetmakers. Alfred Christensen’s present sofa in this style is a rare and exquisite example of this. This sofa has the characteristic ‘open armrest’ design that showcases the high level craftsmanship and the beautiful walnut structure as well. Clean and pure lines define this model that are coupled with expert craftsmanship and delicate research into proportions, materials and the requirements of the human body, adapting design to modern-day needs.

The only form of ornamentation - apart from the bent armrests - is the button tufting on the back.
