The sofa model fd-161, designed by arne vodder and produced by france & daverkosen in denmark in the 1950s, exemplifies key elements of scandinavian modern design through its use of natural materials and refined craftsmanship. The frame is constructed from solid beech wood, chosen for its strength and smooth finish, while the armrests and legs are detailed in teak, adding warmth and subtle contrast. The armrests are skillfully sculpted with a gentle taper toward the front, contributing to both the sofa’s ergonomic comfort and its visual elegance. The seat and backrest have been newly upholstered with gabriel savak plain wool fabric, a durable textile originally designed by tove kindt larsen, ensuring the sofa maintains its historic character with a contemporary renewal. The sofa incorporates an adjustable backrest mechanism that allows for two seating positions, reflecting a functional design approach focused on user comfort and versatility. This piece represents a notable example of danish furniture making, combining arne vodder’s characteristic flowing lines and attention to detail with a commitment to ergonomic support and timeless aesthetic balance.
