This is one of the first Baker sofa’s made by One Collection in Denmark, now known as House of Finn Juhl. House of Finn Juhl is the licensed manufacturer of the designs of Finn Juhl.
This sofa features a teak frame and a beautiful original fabric. Teak was the preferred choice for Finn Juhl, but is no longer available for the Baker sofa because the high quality teak needed for the frame is no longer harvested.
Marked with a signature and a label as pictured.
