Grete Jalk – Rare Mid-Century Sofa with Wired Back Support in Green Velvet
A remarkable and rare Grete Jalk sofa, designed and produced in Denmark during the 1960s, showcasing the refined simplicity and craftsmanship that define Scandinavian modern design.
This elegant piece features a beautifully sculpted teak frame with Jalk’s signature organic lines and a distinctive wired back support, adding both comfort and lightness to the design.
