1960s Sofas
The decade of cultural revolution. The flower power decade. The age of protest. The swinging 60s were a significant decade politically, culturally and across the design world. 1960s sofas epitomised a newfound optimism with their bold colours, striking patterns, and teak-fuelled simple frames. Gone were the embellishments of the past, and here was the stunning modernist simplicity of the future.
Do you want to tap into this optimistic aesthetic? Consider a gorgeous Scandinavian rosewood-framed three-seater 60s sofa in striking mustard yellow. Or why not embrace the penchant for velour with a daring red 60s style sofa complete with button-back and tassel fringe? Or for something completely different, an Ercol old colonial two-seater is a great choice for a more bijou living room.
Your sofa is where you spend most of your time. It’s where you relax, unwind, destress and chill with your nearest and dearest. Add more character to your space with a charming 60s style sofa that brings an authentic piece of social history into your home. Explore our curated collection below.

Why choose a 1960s sofa for your home?
With hundreds of 60s style sofas in our expertly curated edit, it can be challenging to narrow your search. A 60s sofa allows you to shun the sameness of mass-produced modern equivalents. Purchasing a Danish teak couch, an Ercol Windsor sofa or a Guy Roger mid-century daybed means buying into a design movement and adding a one-of-a-kind item to your living room. You can realise a charm that you simply can’t source on the high street.
Procuring a 1960s sofa means you can explore different materials like cork, fibreglass, or laminate within a sofa design. You can also embrace bolder colours and more vibrant patterns than what can be found in modern-day equivalents. Ebonised wood, teak, rosewood, elm, and beech were used by master furnituremakers to craft exquisite sofa frames that were built to last. MDF simply doesn’t cut it when compared to the durability of sustainable wood.
Styling your 1960s sofa
The 1960s design era wasn’t simply about sofas. Arc floor lamps, tiled coffee tables, cocktail drinks cabinets, and vintage mirrors created the ultimate mid-century aesthetic. You can find all of these and more in Vinterior’s one-stop marketplace.
