Construction

Every stitch is piped, and either leather or fabric can be chosen. The wooden inner frame takes the fixed solid wood legs, and jute and rubber-band webbing lies under the seat. Here the sheet names only seat and back cushions (no arm cushions); their covers lift off, whereas the frame cover does not. Cushion choices: foam core under a down wrap, or separate chambers holding a foam-and-down mixture.

Made at the upholstery workshop

The impact module of the page locates this sofa's manufacture at Fredericia's own upholstery workshop in Denmark, and a solid wood module says the wood gets a patina if kept well.
