2 seater sofa designed by Fredericia for Space CopenhagenThe Spine series was originally designed for the interior design of a Michelin starred restaurant in 2011 and has since been favoured by many high-end restaurants, bars and luxury retail shops for its quality, craftsmanship and clean aesthetic.
Spine bears in mind its Nordic heritage while blending in some personality with an individual but refreshing twist. The clean minimal lines are a familiar look while the contemporary details provide a unique striking look never seen before. The top and bottom of the Spine Lounge Suite Sofa contain contrasting elements but still combine to look balanced and refined. The wooden frames made up of the backing and legs are given solid emphasis and the hand-sewn upholstery utilizes techniques developed by Fredericias very own 1960 leather series. The Spine is a mix of organic, solid and modern.

My fiancée and I were searching for modern furniture pieces that not only look beautiful but also are practical. Danish Design ticked all the boxes - superb comfort and aesthetics value, a decent variety of different furniture lines, and staff who are willing to take their time to explain the pieces to you. For many of their sofa lines, they have a wide array of different fabrics (and colours) to suit your lifestyle (eg, warmer or cooler materials). We ended up getting a Bolia couch and a Skovby dining table - wish we had gotten more! Definitely will return again

Was hunting high and low for a modern and sleek looking sofa and finally found in at Danish Design. Fell in love at first sight and decided to up the budget to get a set in leather for ease of maintenance. Excellent service from Danish Design. While the six month wait was long, they kept us updated regarding the progress. Picture showing our “princess of the house” enjoying on the comfy sofa. Well worth the.

Danish Design has always been my go-to place for furniture shopping. They have the most fashionable but also timeless pieces. And while some are not cheap they are made with great quality. We bought our favourite dining walnut table that is ever so timeless but also the most versatile being able to sit 6 and up to 10-12 when we extend it. It is our third time renovating and we are taking this favourite piece w us in our move… and more importantly we always get great service from danish design even after many years.
