Designed in the 1930s and named after the designer’s father, the Vilhelm Sofa was a trailblazer in its time, owing to its distinctive silhouette, low profile and geometric button detailing - a hallmark of fine craftsmanship and grand interiors of the past. Its luxuriously soft, generously padded cushioning and sumptuously rounded form provide unmatched comfort when you need it most.
Updated for contemporary tastes, the piece is available in a choice of oak base finishes, Paris-inspired bouclé or mohair upholstery for a unique sheen and lustre. For the finishing touch, the backrest buttons can be covered with an undyed, ‘naked’ leather that naturally develops a beautiful patina over time. Originally intended to be positioned away from a wall, the Vilhelm Sofa holds its own at the heart of any living space, inviting calm and relaxation in timeless mid-century style.
Architect and modernist, Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was an initiator in bringing functionalism to Denmark.
After attending boarding school with Arne Jacobsen and his brother Mogens Lassen, the three of them maintained a close bond through childhood and later in life as colleagues. He is now renowned for his overstuffed furniture and has received major international recognition in the design world for his armchairs, which today have become known as “the Flemming Lassen style”.
