Svante Skogh — “Bodö” Sofa for AB Hjertquist & Co, Nässjö, Sweden, 1960

SKU: SLG6

A beautifully sculpted three-seater sofa designed by Svante Skogh, model “Bodö”, produced by AB Hjertquist & Co in Nässjö, Sweden during the 1960s. This model is a striking example of Scandinavian craftsmanship, combining strong architectural lines with warm natural materials.

It features a solid oak frame with elegantly shaped armrests and rounded structural joints, giving the piece a light yet robust presence. One of its most distinctive details is the open slatted back construction, which highlights the craftsmanship of the frame while keeping the design visually light from every angle.

This example has been fully restored in our workshop. The oak frame has been carefully cleaned and finished with natural oils to revive the depth of the wood grain. The cushions have been newly upholstered in soft velvet, providing a contemporary contrast to the warm oak while maintaining the timeless Scandinavian aesthetic.

Leather support straps beneath the seat ensure excellent durability and comfort, while the deep cushions create a relaxed and supportive seating experience.
