The sofa shows a moderation of modernist design - the frame is made of solid oak, the upholstery is tight but has loose cushions - creating a more relaxed piece. Jacobsen and Lassen wanted to take a more human approach to modernism and they focused heavily on comfort and livability.
The stylish design has a solid oak frame and is upholstered in Divina 3 Fabric by Kvadrat.
The Mayor sofa recently won the award for 'Best Reissue' at the prestigious Wallpaper* Design Awards 2013.
