Description from the seller

This is a classic Danish 1950s sofa designed by Ole Wanscher for Cado, a renowned example of mid-century Scandinavian design. Wanscher was celebrated for his refined craftsmanship and timeless sense of proportion, often combining elegant simplicity with a deep respect for traditional cabinetmaking.
This particular piece features a solid teakwood frame, showcasing the warmth and subtle grain typical of Danish teak from that era. The frame has been completely restored, bringing out its original luster and structural integrity.
