Product Details

Product Description

The exquisite Spokeback Sofa was designed by Børge Mogensen and produced by Fritz Hansen in Denmark in 1963. It is crafted from superior quality beechwood and recently reupholstered with a stunning light grey kvadrat fabric which highlights its unique, "open" design. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship can be appreciated from every angle, including the impressive feature of one reclining side held in place by leather straps. This sofa has an interesting history, having been originally designed in 1945 but only gaining popularity after production began in 1963. This original piece is a rare find and a beautiful example of Scandinavian design that would make a striking addition to any modern or Scandinavian interior. Despite its age, it remains in very good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with its age and use.Our designer Mogensen, inspired by an old chair he discovered on a trip to Spain in 1958, created the iconic Spanish Chair. This design dates back to ancient Islamic cultures in Spain to northern India and is known for its broad seat and armrests. Mogensen modernized the traditional style by removing the carvings and personalizing it with his signature geometric style. The chair's wide armrests make it practical as well as an attractive piece of furniture, and it is made to endure as it's constructed with sturdy oak and butt leather. Mogensen's design is thoughtful, and the straps allow the back to be adjusted to ensure ultimate comfort and durability. The Spanish Chair is an extraordinary example of how Mogensen was able to create innovative designs without using steel or plastic.
