Mid century Capri sofa reupholstered in white teddy fur by Johannes Andersen

This is an absolute iconic piece of Scandinavian Midcentury Modern design. Johannes Andersen designed the Capri series consisting of a sofa, armchairs and a coffee table all produced by Swedish company Trensum. The sofa is is especially beautiful with it's gorgeous boomerang shape. The sofa stands on a base made of chrome plated steel. The sofa has been reupholstered in white teddy fur. Johannes Andersen (Danish, 1903–1995) apprenticed as a cabinet maker, becoming certified in 1922. By the mid-1930s, when Danish modern design rose in popularity beyond Denmark, he opened his own workshop. He continued to work with other design houses as well, including CFC Silkeborg in Denmark and Trensum in Sweden. The Capri sofa, perhaps Andersen’s most famous design and currently the most sought-after, showcases all of the elements for which he was known: a truly distinctive form, striking curves, and a design that “yields to the seated posture like a glove sliding onto a hand."
