Carl Hansen CH163 Sofa

Exciting things are afoot this Autumn from Carl Hansen with the re-launch of the CH163 Sofa. Designed by Hans J.Wegner the combination of upholstered cushions filled with down were an innovative feature when he designed his modern living room in 1965 - rendering a fairly stringent design less formal. The design is characterised by leg detail which has four straight sides at the base then 'fans' out towards the armrest, punctuated by a wooden plug which not only gives elegance but conceals a wooden screw which facilitates the work of the upholsterer. The frame's honesty is also highlighted throughout the design as this is exposed to the front and rear. This sofa family consists of the smaller CH162 (two seater) and the larger CH163, a three seater. In a range of timber oak finishes and fabrics and leathers the whole family will be available to order from June-September.
