‘Moduline’ Teak and Leather Sofa by Gjerløv-Knudsen & Lind, Denmark 1962

The Moduline sofa by Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen and Torben Lind was designed in 1962 for France & Søn. It is a fine example of Danish mid-century modern design. The sofa has a solid teak frame and its original, button-tufted black leather upholstery. The open wooden frame gives it a light appearance, while the generous cushions make it a comfortable place to sit. Another nice feature is its modular design. You can easily rearrange the three-seater into a two-seater sofa and a separate armchair. This makes it easy to adapt to different spaces. Compared to many modern sofas, the Moduline has relatively modest dimensions. It is therefore a good choice for smaller living rooms, without sacrificing comfort. The sofa is in very good vintage condition. The leather cushions and wooden frame show some light wear, consistent with age and use. A few upholstery buttons have been replaced with slightly larger ones. The original France & Søn manufacturer’s labels are still present on each frame.
