Introduced during the 1950s, the design combines a solid teak frame, woven cane side panels, loose upholstered cushions, and an adjustable mechanism that allows the sofa to convert into an extended daybed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example features a sculpted teak frame with rounded edges, tapered legs, and exposed joinery throughout. Each arm incorporates an inset panel of woven Danish cane surrounded by a shaped teak frame. The rear construction is fully exposed, with a horizontal teak back rail supported by two shaped vertical members. The open structure allows the teak frame and construction details to remain visible from the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sofa is upholstered in a textured blue fabric, with a single full-width seat cushion and two separate rectangular back cushions. The cushions have softly rounded edges and a simple, unbuttoned construction. The blue upholstery contrasts with the warm tone and visible grain of the teak frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA defining feature of the FD 451 is its convertible construction. The cane-sided arms can be released and lowered outward, extending the usable surface beyond the central seat. With both sides lowered and the back cushions repositioned, the sofa converts into a full-length daybed. The photographs show the mechanism in both its upright sofa configuration and fully extended position, including the metal support arms that stabilize the lowered side sections. A brass release buttons is integrated into the rear frame to operate this mechanism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear view highlights the substantial teak framework, including the shaped junctions between the horizontal and vertical members and the open sections behind the cushions. Small brass-colored hardware details are incorporated into the frame and legs. The cane panels remain exposed when the arms are lowered, forming horizontal extensions at either end of the daybed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Egg Culture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50211127886067,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/5278\/4371\/files\/peter-hvidt-orla-molgaard-model-fd-451-daybedsofa-8046918.png?v=1787499499","url":"https:\/\/eggculture.com\/products\/peter-hvidt-orla-molgaard-model-fd-451-daybed-sofa","provider":"Egg Culture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
