Svend Åge Eriksen Sofa for Glostrup, Denmark, 1960s

A beautifully proportioned Danish mid-century sofa designed by Svend Åge Eriksen and manufactured by Glostrup in the 1960s. This piece is a textbook example of Scandinavian modernism, combining clean architectural lines with exceptional comfort.
The solid teak frame has been carefully restored, sanded, and finished with oil to enhance the natural grain and warm tone of the wood. The sofa has been newly upholstered in rich yellow velvet, offering a vibrant yet refined contrast to the teak structure. Generously padded cushions provide excellent support, making this sofa as comfortable as it is visually striking.
