It is indisputably comfortably, while maintaining the precise silhouettes of a Scandinavian design. The sofa is emphasized by immaculate 3mm piping around the seats that gives it its minimal yet holistic look.

With their dual traditional background, Stine and Enrico draw on classic Danish furniture and craft traditions, as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring subtlety embedded stories, symbols and associations.

Sofa Selection for Elegant and Simple Scandinavian Interiors

Sofa Selection for Elegant and Simple Scandinavian Interiors


Choosing a matching sofa for a Scandinavian interior design involves aligning with the key principles of this style: simplicity, functionality, and elegance. Focus on clean lines, natural materials, neutral colours, and high quality to ensure the sofa enhances the serene and stylish ambience typical of Scandinavian design. When selecting premium furniture for luxury interiors, it is essential to consider a few pivotal aspects. 1. Shape Clean Lines: Opt for sofas with simple, clean lines and minimalistic shapes. Scandinavian design favors geometric forms and avoids ornate details. Low Profile: Consider a sofa with a low profile and slim legs. This helps maintain an airy, spacious feel, which is typical in Scandinavian interiors. Modular Options: Modular sofas can be a great choice as they offer flexibility and can be easily rearranged to fit different spaces and functions. 2. Material Natural Fabrics: Choose natural materials like wool, linen, or cotton for upholstery. These materials align with the Scandinavian preference for natural and breathable fabrics. Quality Leather: High-quality leather can also work well, adding a touch of sophistication while remaining understated. Wood Accents: Incorporate wooden legs or frame details in light-colored woods like oak or beech, which complement the Scandinavian aesthetic. 3. Color Neutral Palette: Stick with neutral colors such as white, gray, beige, or muted tones. These colors create a calm and serene atmosphere and blend seamlessly with other elements in a Scandinavian interior. Soft Accents: If you prefer some color, opt for soft, pastel hues that maintain the understated elegance of Scandinavian design. 4. Quality Craftsmanship: Look for well-made sofas with durable frames and high-quality upholstery. Scandinavian design values functional beauty, so a well-constructed sofa is essential for longevity and comfort. Comfort: Ensure the sofa offers good comfort with supportive cushions and adequate seating depth. Comfort is key in Scandinavian interiors, where the space should be both stylish and inviting. 5. Additional Factors Functionality: Consider additional features like built-in storage or adjustable components if they fit the functional needs of your space. Scandinavian design often integrates functionality seamlessly into its aesthetics. Scale: Make sure the sofa’s size fits well within your space without overwhelming it. Scandinavian interiors often emphasize spaciousness and simplicity, so avoid oversized pieces. Versatility: A versatile sofa that can adapt to different settings or be easily paired with various accessories adds to the flexibility of Scandinavian design. Take, for instance, the Streamline Sofa by Eilersen. This highly customisable sofa does not compromise on comfort. With its simplicity that evokes the timeless classics, it embodies the essence of Scandinavian design. This sofa boasts a solid wood frame providing firm and sturdy support, complemented by a spring seat base covered with polyurethane foam and topped with a pre-compressed fibre filled wrap. The back cushioning, filled with 100% down feather and small duck feathers sewn into a ribbed, feather proof cambric casing, adds an extra layer of opulence. Such meticulous attention to detail underscores a commitment to creating a piece that is both luxurious and enduring. Similarly, the No.1 Sofa epitomises Mogensens signature minimalist style with functional details that feature removable and mobile cushions. This designer sofa has stood the test of time, maintaining its unique personal character amidst ever-changing trends. The tightly upholstered frame coupled with loose cushions on the seat and back creates a harmonious blend of rigidity and softness. The conical wooden legs add a nostalgic touch, enhancing its vintage allure while ensuring it remains a modern classic. In both examples, the dedication to artisanal craftsmanship is evident. The selection of premium materials, the intricate detailing, and the harmonious balance between form and function all reflect an unwavering commitment to quality and elegance. When choosing a sofa that aligns with Scandinavian interior design, it is these qualities that will ensure your space exudes a sense of refined sophistication and enduring appeal.

WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY

★★★★★
Joshua Foo

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

Jonathan Lee

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.
