AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Canapé model "Capri" by the famous Danish designer Johannes Andersen for the Trensum brand. Extremely rare as it was produced only in 1959; only a few copies remain.
It is a 3-seat curved sofa that prefigures the modernist and minimalist Scandinavian movement of the 60s/70s. Its condition is good for its age and the frame is very sound even if the fabric shows wear and the chrome legs are pitted in places and may show missing pieces. It is nevertheless usable as is, but a restoration would be preferable. Design value between €5,000 and €10,000 depending on condition.
For sale due to moving and lack of space.
Note, the last AI-generated photo shows what the restored piece could look like in situ. Finally, the color leans more toward canard blue (teal) than turquoise, but the phone rendering is not quite exact.
Pickup preferably on site but delivery can be organized at your expense.
