Lounge 2 Seater Sofa

Designer Henry Hans Schubell was obsessed with the function of each piece he designed. This sofa combines comfort and support with sleek good looks that recall the 1950s with 21st-century appeal. Emerging from decades of heavy-set furniture, his design’s light, slender model, suggested optimism for the future, a part of the movement that gave Danish design the reputation it still has today.

With a slightly reclining line, the fully upholstered cushions are placed into a visible wooden frame, where the wooden armrest becomes the backrest, enveloping the sitter.

Schubell created his chairs and sofa so that they could be easily transported unassembled overseas and assembled at the destination.
