Sofa ‘Colonial’ designed by Ole Wanscher for P Jeppesen
Denmark, 1960s

Brazilian rosewood and black leather.

The sofa’s name is a reference to Ole Wanscher’s
fascination with English furnishings from the 1700s. The sofa is remarkably
light and was designed for production, with removable cushions. This piece was
originally produced by Poul Jeppesen Møbelfabrik from 1949. Small and intricate
details, such as the turned tops of the front legs and the inclusion of loops
on the tops of the cushions, show that every detail was thought through during
the design process.
