Model 4118 Sofa
Kaare Klint
£8,000
Description:
Two two-seater 4118 sofas designed by Kaare Klint and made by cabinetmakers Rud Rasmussen in Denmark, circa 1940.
The architectural design of these high-backed sofas is amplified by their simplicity of form, strong angles are dampened with the undulating curve of the armrest. The block mahogany legs ground the piece well, their chamfered construction are mirrored in the crenelation detail of the upholstery, replicating the same technique.
Fully but faithfully restored and reupholstered in an off-white canvas, with tan leather piping of the same colour as the wood beneath.
Available as a pair with this sofa.
