Description

The OW149-2 Colonial Sofa is a trademark interpretation of classic shapes according to modern needs for functionality. With its flexible shapes and slim dimensions, the sofa’s style reflects the designer's love for the 18th-century English furniture design. The design communicates Wanscher’s fondness for refined detailing. The sofa features a relatively simple lattice construction, its elements supporting one another. The slender dimensions are minimal, the design’s strength achieved instead through a well-conceived structure that includes double center legs for strength. The sofa is as a reimagination of the popular OW149 Colonial Chair from 1949 and is part of the Colonial Series, which also features the OW449 Colonial Coffee Table and the OW149F Colonial Footstool.
Support in the seat is made of handwoven canework.

The Colonial Series was designed by Ole Wanscher. Born in 1903, Wanscher studied and eventually worked under Kaare Klint prior to his independent design career. Notably, Wanscher's best known works were designed between the late 1940s and early 1960s, a few years earlier than many other renowned Scandinavian designers. Alongside his career designing furniture, Wanscher also taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, helping to shape the work of a later generation. Whereas some of his designs are quite reserved and arguably more traditional with references to pre-modern movements, others can be highly sculptural, delicate, and/or definitively modern.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
