Brazilian Rosewood & Leather 4 seat Sofa Designed By Knut Saeter or Hans Olsen For Vatne Mobler

Fabulous Near MINT Example of this Iconic 60s Classic

This is a very fine example of the classic and highly collectable sculpted Brazilian Rosewood sofa designed by Knut Saeter (Some resources attribute this to Hans Olsen) and manufactured by Vatne. This fabulous Modernist sofa dates to the early 60s and is in wonderful condition with soft supple leather and a nearly flawless Brazilian Rosewood frame. The original down filled cushions are very comfortable and while naturally wrinkled, the cushions show no sign of cracking, holes, tears or other damage. This sofa was VERY well cared for and is exceptional good condition. I would say that it would be nearly impossible to find an original unmodified sofa in better condition anywhere.

Posted on July 14, 2019 by RetroSquad

This is quintessential late 60s or early 70s modern design from “Marble Imperial” a commercial furniture manufacturer that was a division of Dictaphone.

It is a really great comfortable sofa that has wonderful dimensions and a great look. It has squared corners and sides reminiscent of Knoll sofa designs.

This WONDERFUL dining table exhibits wonderful vintage Brazilian Rosewood grain patterns and is in nearly perfect condition.

It is clear to see that this was not a cheaply made table as seen in the attention-to-detail, materials used and construction. This piece has great Brazilian Rosewood grain and is a very practical draw leaf design. These tables came in several sizes and this is one of the larger sizes made. The best feature is that the table top and leaves match in color unlike many of the tables you might find online.

Brazilian Rosewood Table From Skovby

Posted on July 14, 2019 by RetroSquad

1st – I wish I could get photos of this table that really do it justice. I ALWAYS find it very difficult to get nice photos of Rosewood tables. The dark color, reflections, and required lighting drive me nuts. I ended up using a flash for some of the photos which doesn’t always deliver the best results. This is the best I can do after a lot of work. If you are looking for a vintage table in almost new condition – this is for you!

This is a really nice set of six Rosewood Danish Modern Dining Chairs. The frames are in nearly perfect condition and exhibit Rosewood graining. This set was very well cared for by the original owner and was only sold due to a move. The original wool fabric is in good condition but does show some light staining on some of the seats. The last photo of the single chair seat shows the worst of the stained seats (see last photos).
