The reintroduced Colonial Sofa dates back to 1964 though few
people know that Ole Wanscher actually designed this 2-seater Sofa
at the time. The Colonial Sofa is part of the Colonial Series
which also includes the classic
Colonial Chair and
Footrest and the newly released Colonial Coffee
Table.
The serie clearly reflects Wanscher´s fondness for the delicate
and refined as well as his fascination with furniture design from
the 18th century England and bygone Colonial times.
The Colonial Sofa comes with loose cushions and the seat moves
freely in the frame, which features a cotton webbing base. Like the
Colonial Chair, the Colonial sofa is available in mahogany,
walnut and oak with either fabric or leather cushions.
Designed by
Ole
Wanscher, the Colonial Sofa was first introduced in 1964 and
re-introduced by Carl Hansen & Søn in 2015.
