This 4-piece collection features a pair of 1960s “car seat” style sofas and two matching, authenticated Danish teak side tables. Perfect for period-accurate sets, 1960s executive offices, retro lounges, or stylized residential scenes.
Sofa Specifications & Provenance:
- Design: Sleek, low-profile architectural silhouette with striking vertical ribbing, finished in the original, vibrant turquoise vinyl. Features tapered solid wood legs with the original built-in wooden gliders (Selig style).
- Dimensions: 43″ Seating Area Length | 28″ Total Height (Floor to top of backrest)
- Provenance: Both sofas retain original paper factory production traveler tags on the underside reading “Office 9688, Style 400”. Hand-stamped on the raw wood frames are matching chronological production match-marks (470B 22/400).
Teak Side Table Specifications & Provenance:
- Brand/Maker: Authenticated France & Søn (Denmark).
- Markings: Both tables feature the original, inlaid silver metal circular emblem showing the maker’s signature, trademark (F on top of upside-down F), and serial/design patent number 5237039.
Condition Details:
- Vinyl: Very good vintage condition. The original vinyl is flexible, soft, and has been gently wiped down with premium 303 Multipurpose cleaner. It retains its rich satin sheen. There is one tiny, stable surface crack (approx. 1–2 mm) on one sofa, and a couple of minor white paint specks/drips that could be carefully lifted by a restorer. No major structural rips.
- Wood & Structural: Solid and intact. One sofa shows minor moisture/heat patina (light shellac flaking on the wood arm/legs) from being near a radiator over the decades. One tapered leg has a loose screw-in joint that has been securely bonded with Gorilla Glue and holds firmly for staging. The matching France & Søn tables are in original, un-restored condition; one shows a light surface scratch, and the other has minor sun fading. Left raw/un-oiled for buyer preference.
Located locally in Toronto (East End/Riverdale). Available for short-notice viewings, quick wrap-outs, or immediate production pickups. Open to a permanent, outright purchase of $4,500 OBO for the complete 4-piece furniture suite, or weekly rentals.
