Arne Wahl Iversen — Four-Seater Sofa for Komfort, Denmark, 1970s

An exceptionally rare four-seater sofa designed by Arne Wahl Iversen for Komfort, Denmark, dating to the 1970s—an elegant and generously proportioned piece that perfectly captures the balance of comfort and craftsmanship in Danish modern design.
The sofa features a solid wood frame with beautifully sculpted lines and refined detailing throughout. The distinctive back structure, with its geometric support elements, adds both visual interest and structural integrity, while the gently curved armrests and tapered legs give the piece a light and sophisticated presence despite its generous scale.
Arne Wahl Iversen is known for his understated yet highly functional designs, often combining clean architectural forms with subtle organic shaping. His work for Komfort reflects the high standards of Danish furniture production, where durability, comfort, and timeless aesthetics were paramount.
The sofa has been fully restored and newly upholstered in a premium ivory bouclé, offering a soft, textured finish that contrasts beautifully with the warm tones of the wood. The internal structure has been renewed where needed, ensuring lasting comfort and support while preserving the original design.
The solid wood frame has been carefully refinished, with surfaces sanded, stained, and sealed to enhance the natural grain and depth of colour.
A rare and impressive statement piece, ideal for larger interiors and collectors of high-quality Scandinavian design.
