As digital devices challenge our traditional ways of conversation, the Sideways Sofa provides an equally modern antidote to dialogue and discovery - and, not least, downtime. Made in Denmark and created by award-winning Danish designer Rikke Frost, the distinctive design eschews the traditional forward-facing sofa in favor of a sideways position that encourages more natural conversation.

In keeping with Carl Hansen & Son's DNA, where uncompromising craftsmanship and thoughtful expression seamlessly merge, the Sideways Sofa combines classic materials - sustainably sourced wood, paper cord and high-quality upholstery textile - with a modern asymmetric shape. The steam-bent backrest is shaped from solid wood and woven paper cord for a light, elegant expression, while the seat and back are padded and upholstered for optimal comfort. The result is a sofa you want to sit in for a long time.
