This couch showcases a confident approach to structure, proportion, and craftsmanship. The design is defined by its sculptural solid timber frame, featuring dipped armrests, tapered legs, and a beautifully shaped backrest frame.
It gives the piece visual lightness while remaining robust and well-balanced. The exposed framework is both architectural and inviting, allowing the craftsmanship to be appreciated from every angle.
The couch has been fully restored and refurbished to a high standard. The timber frame has been carefully repaired and refinished, while the seat and back cushions have been fitted with new foam and upholstered in a fresh, premium textured fabric, offering improved comfort without compromising the original design language. The fabric is a dark grey with a subtle blue hue, aptly named “Night Sky.”

This couch works equally well as a statement piece in a living space or as part of a considered mid-century interior where structure and honest materials take centre stage. Likely attributed to Frystark Furniture.
Condition:
Fully restored and beautifully finished, this couch is ready to make a statement in its next space. The original spring system remains intact at the back and beneath the seats, showing only gentle age-related wear, including some wear to the original plastic bands around the springs. A solid steel bar has been discreetly added beneath the front stretcher following an earlier repair, ensuring excellent structural stability while remaining mainly out of sight.

170cm W (Armrest to Armrest) X 69cm D (Back leg to Front Leg) X 80cm H (Top of wooden backrest)
Seat Height x 49cm | Seat depth by 50cm (with the backrest cushion fitted)

Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s.
