About this piece

There is something undeniably romantic about a beautifully restored 1960s sofa that absolutely captures the spirit of mid-century design — and truly makes ones heart melt.

New Style ‘Modern Lounge’ suite, 1965.

By 1965, furniture design had fully embraced the clean lines and sculptural simplicity championed a decade earlier by designers such as Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen. Teak was king, proportions became lighter and more refined, and comfort evolved with improved foam technology replacing traditional sprung and horsehair interiors. The result? Sofas that were compact, elegant and perfectly suited to modern living — exactly like this petite beauty.

This piece has been completely stripped back to its bare bones. All old foams removed and replaced with new, ensuring lasting comfort and structure for years to come. It has been reupholstered in a hardwearing wool fabric — a stunning golden mustard with a subtle grey fleck — with stitchwork thoughtfully following the original 1960s design lines. The detailing honours its heritage while giving it a crisp, fresh presence.

The teak frame has been carefully revarnished, bringing warmth and richness back to the timber. Every angle is considered. Every line refined. The result is an absolutely impeccable and impressive sofa — compact in scale yet full of personality.

Design Story

Hans Jørgensen Wegner is considered one of the most influential furniture designers of the 20th century, celebrated for redefining Scandinavian modernism through craftsmanship, simplicity, and an extraordinary understanding of wood.

Born in 1914 in Tønder, Wegner trained as a cabinetmaker before studying design in Copenhagen. That technical background shaped his philosophy for the rest of his career: furniture should be beautiful, functional, and constructed with complete honesty.

During the mid 20th century, Wegner became a central figure of Danish modern design, creating chairs that balanced sculptural elegance with everyday comfort. His most famous work, the Wishbone Chair, became an icon for its flowing organic form and hand woven paper cord seat. Across more than 500 chair designs, Wegner repeatedly explored how minimal structures could still feel warm and human.

Unlike many modernists who embraced industrial aesthetics, Wegner focused deeply on craftsmanship and natural materials. His furniture celebrated visible joints, smooth curves, and the tactile beauty of wood, making each piece feel timeless rather than fashionable.

Today, Hans J. Wegner’s designs remain among the most respected and collected pieces in Scandinavian furniture history. Whether in contemporary homes, luxury interiors, or design museums, his work continues to embody the idea that simplicity, when executed perfectly, can feel almost timeless.
