Model 703 Three-Seat Sofa by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn

The Model 703 sofa is one of Josef Frank’s most iconic designs for Svenskt Tenn and remains a defining example of his humanistic approach to modernism. Designed in the 1930s, it focuses on comfort, warmth, and everyday usability, moving away from strict functionalism in favor of a more relaxed and inviting form.

The sofa features a fully upholstered body with loose seat cushions and a spring-supported seat construction, creating a comfortable and supportive seating experience. It rests on Josef Frank’s signature globular legs in stained beech, a detail that adds character while giving the design a lighter visual presence.

With its generous proportions, the Model 703 works equally well as a central piece in a living space or as part of a more intimate seating arrangement. The deep seat encourages relaxed lounging, while the overall silhouette remains balanced and refined.

Dimensions are approximately 90.6 inches in length, 39.4 inches in depth, and 31.5 inches in height. Seat height is approximately 17.7 inches, with a seat depth of around 23.6 inches.

Condition is good vintage. The frame is structurally sound, and the beech legs remain in good condition. The upholstery shows normal signs of wear consistent with age and use, which is expected for a piece of this period.

What we like most about the Model 703 is its balance of comfort and elegance. It is a sofa designed to be lived in, offering a relaxed feel without losing its refined presence.

As with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story. Colors can look slightly different depending on the light. If you'd like more details, just let me know.
