Expertly crafted by the peerless artisans at Carl Hansen & Son, the AH701 Outdoor Lounge Sofa provides a simple yet eye-catching centrepiece to any arrangement of outdoor furniture. Alfred Homann’s tireless pursuit of minimalist principles is epitomised in the sofa’s stripped-back aesthetics and considered design.
Homann’s love of soft shapes and a combination of curved and straight lines are evident throughout the collection, maximising comfort and tactility. Constructed from hard-wearing teak wood, the furniture is naturally resistant to the elements and perfectly suited to a huge variety of different spaces.
