Created upon the idea of 'social furniture' the Sideways Sofa attempts to decrease anti-socialisation with its curved form, designed by Rikke Frost for Carl Hansen & Son.
Encouraging dialogue, the sideways sofa places the user in a seated position, not face to face as you may think but at an angle that ensures making contact with others feels natural and enjoyable. With a highly contemporary and unique asymmetric shape, the sofa's soft and rounded shapes are formed by an innovatively steam-bent backrest, crafted in solid wood with delicate strands of woven paper cord in a supportive Windsor formation. Both light and elegant the sumptuously comfy Sideways Sofa combines luxury Kvadrat upholstery with traditional wood materials, resulting in a timeless yet unexpected piece that can be enjoyed for years to come.
