Inspired by a French rococo sofa, Klint designed a versatile,
modern sectional sofa. The first variant was created in the early
1930s for the prestigious New Carlsberg Foundation offices in
Copenhagen. Klint then continued to refine the design, presenting
the final Addition Sofa at the 1933 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild
Exhibition.
The Addition Sofa is trimmed with piping to ensure beautiful,
clean seams around the seat and back. The leather pleats create
rhomboid panels that are held in place with leather-covered buttons
and open up when pressure is applied to the sofa to keep the
leather from overstretching.
The sofa quickly earned accolades for its simple construction
and sophisticated upholstery and today the modular design remains a
coveted choice for contemporary interiors.
The frame is produced in solid wood and the seat/back is
upholstered with leather.
