Polv-Dinesen Sofa Upholstery

This Denmark mid century modern sofa sure is a special piece.
 If there is any sofa that could be called a masterpiece of engineering, this is one of them.
The frame is so strong yet can be easily disassembled to be moved in any size sedan.
The cushions are some of the best design I have ever seen.
Serial numbered & stamped.

The spring system sure is special also and has held up like new after 60 years or so.
New 1/2 inch foam replaced as before.
The arm pieces sure are special.
A fresh thin coat of cotton freshens them up for many years to come.
Quite a bit of hand sewing to close these pieces out.
The seat cushions need reworking.
The spring units are still in top shape after all the decades.
Re wrapped in natural burlap as originally done.
Then a full coat of cotton.
With fresh foam as originally applied.

The cuts on these cushions allow very little tolerance to have them come out proper.
Tight stitched for seam strength.
The back cushions were inspected and left as is. There could be many years left in them before restoration. And when they do they are just a zipper slide away.
                                                           Cleaned up the frame a bit.

That's the thing about well designed furniture. I got this tailored up for under 8 yards of this nice soft blue ordered from my fabric supplier.
A clean shop makes for clean, efficient work.

After final inspection and plastic wrapped the cushions for delivery, this piece is ready to serve.


Thanks for looking here!
