Senator Teak Sofa by Ole Wanscher for Cado in Ivory Boucle, Denmark
Senator three seater sofa designed by Ole Wanscher for Cado, Denmark, dating to the 1960s—an iconic example of Danish modern design at its most elegant and understated.
Crafted from solid teak, the frames showcase Wanscher’s signature balance of architectural precision and soft, organic lines. The gently curved armrests, tapered legs, and beautifully proportioned structure reflect his deep understanding of classical furniture combined with modernist restraint. The result is a timeless design that is both visually light and exceptionally comfortable.
Ole Wanscher, a leading figure of Danish design and a professor at the Royal Danish Academy, was known for drawing inspiration from historical forms and reinterpreting them through a modern lens. His work is celebrated for its craftsmanship, subtle detailing, and enduring appeal.
The sofa has been fully restored and newly upholstered in a premium ivory bouclé, offering a soft, textured contrast to the warm tones of the teak. The wooden frames have been carefully refinished, with surfaces cleaned, sanded, and treated to enhance the natural grain and depth of colour.
A highly collectible model, perfect as a pair in both classic and contemporary interiors.
