Description
The mid-20th century marked the emergence of Danish design as a global movement, characterised by its commitment to simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. Rooted in the principles of modernism and influenced by the Scandinavian cultural emphasis on practicality and beauty, Danish designers sought to create furniture and household objects that were both elegant and accessible. Danish design flourished in this era, embodying a timeless aesthetic that prioritised human comfort and sustainable practices, laying the foundation for its post-war international acclaim.
This striking three-seater sofa exemplifies the Danish design ethos, blending soft, inviting curves with clean lines and high-quality materials. Through these qualities, the piece mirrors the era’s transitional phase, as artists were moving away from the Art Deco movement and toward mid-century design. This blend of influences is visible when looking at the sofa’s form - combining the shape of the timeless banana sofa, with its bold yet refined curves, and the classic tuxedo sofa, with high and slightly curved and streamlined arms the same height as the back. The contrast between the rich tone of the upholstery and the warm, hue of the wood highlights the Danish pursuit of material harmony and understated glamour. The sofa is upholstered in a red mohair fabric, offering a luxurious texture that invites comfort while also making a visual statement. The oak veneer overlay frames the piece, as it flows from the armrest to the back, along the length of the sofa. The wooden accent continues in the form of the four legs and the curved stretcher placed in between the sofa’s legs, offering a touch of organic sophistication, while ensuring structural integrity.
This three-seater sofa embodies the timeless elegance and innovative spirit of Danish design. Perfectly suited for a vintage or contemporary interior, this sofa represents a marriage of artistry and comfort. Its red mohair upholstery captures attention, adding warmth and vibrancy to any space, while the wooden accents are grounding, together making this piece into an ideal statement piece.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
