This sofa was produced by ab trensums fåtöljfabrik from sweden around 1950s/1960s according johannes andersen design. Like most furniture from scandinavia, it was made with great care and accuracy, which we could observe throughout the renovation process. Extremely interesting design and beautiful line in boomerang shape, that’s still fresh and enchanting nowadays. The sofa has undergone a thorough upholstery renovation, the seats have been completely replaced and the new upholstery fabric comes from danish brand kvadrat. The textile we have used in this particular project is „tonica2” in deep purple melange. „tonica2” is one of kvadrat’s all times classics and best sellers. The fabric used on the inside is black linen combined with cotton. The furniture is set on a solid metal frame that provides high stability and looks great. The„capri” series is one of johannes andersen’s signature designs, well know and appreciated in design history.
johannes andersen was born in aarhus, denmark in 1903. He apprenticed as a cabinet maker, becoming certified in 1922. By the mid-1930s, when danish modern design rose in popularity beyond denmark, he opened his own workshop. He continued to work with other design houses as well, including cfc silkeborg in denmark and trensum in sweden. Johannes andersen garnered international acclaim in his lifetime that is still accorded to him today. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
