Sofa Liljevalchs

The Liljevalchs sofa is one of the first pieces of furniture designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn in 1934. This iconic upholstered piece is known for its size and generous seating depth — large, soft, embracing, and timeless in its design.

Josef Frank had only recently arrived in Sweden when he participated on behalf of Svenskt Tenn in the exhibition “Standard for Housing and Furniture” at Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm.

How the Liljevalchs Sofa is made

Manufacturing Svenskt Tenn's Liljevalchs sofa is a time-consuming process that requires great skill. A team of exceptional carpenters, sewers and upholsterers are responsible for the production, led by fourth-generation furniture makers of the Sjögren family.

Josef Frank

Austrian designer and architect Josef Frank has had an enormous impact on the history of Swedish design. Despite being nearly 50 years old when emigrating to Sweden, he is now considered one of the country’s most important designers of all time.
