This three-seater sofa by Mogens Hansen, crafted in the 1970s, is a standout piece of Danish design. Upholstered in full grain buffalo leather, it offers exceptional durability and a rich, natural texture, with subtle imperfections like scars and wrinkles that give it a distinctive character. Full grain leather is leather for connoisseurs. It is the outermost and thinnest layer, with the most tightly woven fibers, and its processing is very demanding and costly. Moreover, it is the most durable type of leather that exists.

Buffalo leather is thicker and stronger than standard cowhide, making it highly resistant to wear while retaining a soft, supple feel. It adapts to body temperature and becomes even softer with use. Over time, it develops a deep patina, enhancing its vintage charm and adding unique character to each piece.

The sofa’s minimalist and functional design reflects the Scandinavian mid-century modern aesthetics. Its clean lines, low profile, and subtle curves ensure both visual harmony and superior comfort. Cushions filled with goose down offer generous softnes and support, ideal for lounging. The solid hardwood frame ensures stability and durability, while the warm cognac – brown hue of the leather beautifully complements the natural wood tones.

Mogens Hansen is renowned for its quality craftsmanship and well-designed products, particularly sofas and chairs. The design of this sofa closely aligns with the work of Børge Mogensen from the same period, further solidifying its classic Danish design heritage. This model was popular in Danish homes, lobbies, and offices during the 1970s and 1980s and continues to enrich vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors

Despite its age, the sofa remains in excellent condition, demonstrating the lasting quality of this kind of the leather, that has another long decades to go. Minor signs of use, such as age-appropriate wrinkles and patina, add character and tell the story of the piece’s history. The leather’s luster has been rejuvenated through professional cleaning and waxing ensuring its timeless charm endures.
