BEFORE + AFTER - DANISH MODERN CHARTREUSE SOFA
Here's a recent restoration we're pretty proud of! This beautiful chartreuse colored sofa hails from Denmark and dates to about the late 1950s. When we picked this piece up overseas, the fabric was well kept, but the original foam underneath had seriously disintegrated. We decided to restore it to its original glory as much as possible, and were amazed to find that Kvadrat still produces an almost identical match to the original chartreuse color (Tonica collection, colorway 411)! Unfortunately, the cushion fabric was unsalvageable, so it was replaced to match the rest of the sofa. After a lot of new foam, 12 yards of fresh wool, and some new strapping, this gorgeous sofa is given new life, while still retaining its original look!
Before and after photos are below. Here's a link to the listing itself.
