Yrjö Kukkapuro Ateljee 3-Seater Sofa in Beige Leather with Birch Frame with Headrests

Designed by Yrjö Kukkapuro, the Ateljee sofa is one of the most recognizable classics of Finnish design. First introduced in the 1960s, the model is known for its strong architectural form, visible wooden frame, and deep, relaxed seating comfort. The combination of a structured silhouette and soft upholstered cushions gives the sofa its distinctive character and has made it one of Kukkapuro’s best known designs.

This three-seater example features beige leather upholstery paired with a birch frame, creating a warm and balanced overall look. The light tones suit the graphic construction of the Ateljee model especially well, and the sofa works beautifully in both modern interiors and more characterful vintage settings.

The open frame and exposed structure give the piece a light appearance despite its generous proportions.

The leather shows light wear and patina consistent with age. The backing fabric on the cushions has small holes in places. This is not visible in normal use and does not affect functionality. The seat straps have been replaced and are in good condition. Overall the sofa presents very well. Please review all images for details.
