RF1903 Sideways Sofa

The RF1903 Sideways Sofa by Carl Hansen & Søn is an award-winning Scandinavian masterpiece designed by Rikke Frost that strikes a flawless balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern conversational functionality. Conceived as an intentional antidote to the isolating nature of modern digital devices, the sofa derives its distinct identity from its asymmetrical, organically curved silhouette, which turns sitters toward each other rather than strictly forward to encourage natural face-to-face dialogue. Its architectural standout feature is a low, steam-bent backrest formed from solid wood and hand-woven natural paper cord, creating a light and transparent structural shell that honors heritage Danish joinery traditions. This rigid, sculptural frame encapsulates a deeply padded interior and an asymmetrical seat cushion upholstered in high-end Kvadrat textiles or premium leathers to provide a plush, cave-like pocket of lounge comfort. Measuring 197 cm long, 74 cm to 104 cm deep, and 74 cm high with a relaxed 41 cm seat height, the piece is available in Left or Right-facing configurations and stands on legs of solid oak or walnut. This made-to-order showpiece serves as an open and inviting spatial anchor, effortlessly injecting poetic warmth into both luxury residential living rooms and open-plan commercial reception areas.
