MID CENTURY 2 seater 1965 ‘Modern Lounge’ settee, newly upholstered.

There is something undeniably romantic about a beautifully restored 1960s sofa that absolutely captures the spirit of mid-century design — and truly makes ones heart melt.

New Style ‘Modern Lounge’ suite, 1965.

By 1965, furniture design had fully embraced the clean lines and sculptural simplicity championed a decade earlier by designers such as Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen. Teak was king, proportions became lighter and more refined, and comfort evolved with improved foam technology replacing traditional sprung and horsehair interiors. The result? Sofas that were compact, elegant and perfectly suited to modern living — exactly like this petite beauty.

This piece has been completely stripped back to its bare bones. All old foams removed and replaced with new, ensuring lasting comfort and structure for years to come. It has been reupholstered in a hardwearing wool fabric — a stunning golden mustard with a subtle grey fleck — with stitchwork thoughtfully following the original 1960s design lines. The detailing honours its heritage while giving it a crisp, fresh presence.

The teak frame has been carefully revarnished, bringing warmth and richness back to the timber. Every angle is considered. Every line refined. The result is an absolutely impeccable and impressive sofa — compact in scale yet full of personality.

Petite, sculptural and deeply nostalgic — this sofa and its era truly make my heart melt
