A freestanding three seater sofa with cherry wood legs. Sides, back and loose cushions upholstered with reddish brown leather. Model 2213. Designed 1962. Manufactured and marked by Fredericia Stolefabrik, 1996. L. 221 cm.

Børge Mogensen designed this sofa in 1962 for his home in Gentofte north of Copenhagen, where it still stands, placed between the two tables that dictated the measurements of the sofa.
