Paris Sofa Baby Velvet Mohair

This classical curved sofa that was designed in 1937 has a modern and cool look with nice details such as the pipings taken from the original sofa. The frame underneath the sofa is made of stained beech wood. The structure of the sofa is made of solid wood, springs  and different types of foam for best comfort and stability. 

The model "Paris" was part of an interior created by Elias Svedberg and Astrid Sampe, exhibited at the world exhibition in Paris 1937, in Warsaw 1938 and "We live in Ribbershus", in Malmö 1939.

Elias Svedberg 1913-1987 was an architect and designer with a long career at NK, starting in the mid-1940s when he and Lena Larsson started developing the very successful “Triva” concept. The idea suggested that quality furniture were to be sold in flat packages and assembled by the customer – a concept that spanned decades and was a forerunner to other successful businesses picking up on the idea. Svedberg was the head of NK’s interior design department from 1952 to 1961 and together with Lena Larsson he wrote the classic book “Heminredning” (“Home interior design”). The book is pervaded by a strong incentive to educate and cultivate the reader in creating a pleasant and practical home.
