Elegant three-seat sofa by Erik Ole Jørgensen. This sofa has a luxurious appearance due to the tufted cognac leather. The orderly placed leather buttons create a beautiful pattern. The natural leather has beautifully aged and shows a nice patina. Minor traces of age and use are visible on the leather. The sofa has been fully checked and restored in our in-house atelier, to make sure you'll receive this Danish beauty in its best condition.

Erik Ole Jørgensen (1925-2002) was originally trained as an upholsterer. Later on he did embarke on the route of becoming a designer himself. In 1944 he graduated from the Design School. This combination of being an upholsterer and designer meant that he designed both furniture and fabrics, including a collaboration with Kaare Klint or a design for curtains for Kvadrat. His simple, functional furniture with extremely high quality upholstery has put him in the ranks of the best Danish furniture designers.
