COUCH SEATTLE

The Denmark
Our bestselling mid-century frame the  Denmark  appears in a uniquely period correct poly/rayon blend.  So much of mid-century design has been watered down.  There are SO many mid-century “inspired” frames which thicken the arms and thicken the front.  But mid-century is all about stark proportions.  The arm is 3.5″ thick because they need to be 3.5″-or less- thick.  You widen them to 4.5″ and you’ve got a watered down version of the design.  The cone legs need to be 7″.  If you make them 6″ the frame sits too heavy.  It really isn’t rocket science– but it seems to me that everyone insists on fattening up mid-century modern frames.  Call it the La-Z-Boy effect.  But at COUCH we honor the classics, not water them down for mass consumption.
