Modern Sofas

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Upholstered "X-Rays" Sofa, Alain Gilles

Located in Geneve, CH

Leather "X-Rays" sofa - Alain Gilles Dimensions: 200 W x 86.4 D x 76 H cm Materials: black steel structure, black mat ash handrail, fabric Custom fabric and colors available X Ray is a family of comfortable upholstered pieces: a sofa (2, 3, 4 seaters), a daybed and an armchair. Instead of hiding the structures under fabric, Alain Gilles literally x-rayed the welcoming and comfortable traditional sofa to create a graphic and sculptural range of seats for the home and the office. As a result, the pieces are captivating both from the front and from the back. Design as a second life. After studying Political Sciences and Marketing Management, Alain Gilles went on to work in the international financial world for 5 years. But one has to live his own life. So, thanks to the moral support of his wife, he went back to studying Industrial Design in France. He opened his own studio in late 2007 in order to pursue his own dreams and develop his personal approach to product design, furniture design, art direction and scenography. He has since started to collaborate with several international editors such as Qui est Paul...

De Sede DS-707 Sofa in Atom Kvadrat Upholstery by Philippe Malouin

By De Sede, Philippe Malouin

Located in Brooklyn, NY

The DS-707 is the modern composition of handmade leather and contemporary design. The flowing, soft transitions combine the postmodern era of Swiss furniture design with the clear open structures of brutalism that inspired designer Philippe Malouin. Available as a comfortable armchair or as a modular sofa that can be combined in infinite ways, the DS-707 is the visual perfection of form that gives every room a unique highlight. Where the St. Lawrence River Montreal flows in a serpentine pattern, a residential complex marked by the architectural style of brutalism rises up on a small headland, the famous Habitat 67. 354 concrete blocks arranged in a stepped pattern adorn a part of Montreal’s multifaceted skyline, designed by architect Moshe Safdie...

Located in Chicago, IL

A world lies at your feet; ready for you to shape it to suit your ideas on taste, interiors and life. Paleta is your home, your workroom, a place to relax. A broad landscape that offers a warm welcome to friends and family whenever they drop in on you. Large covered seat bottoms form the basis for Paleta, a rich programme of sofas that you color to suit you. With luxuriant low or adjustable high cushions and sideboards in various sizes, Paleta is also available without the soft armrests. That gives you the opportunity to create space for an oak table leaf to integrate your side table into your sofa. In many of his furniture designs, designer Christian Werner chooses trapezoid shapes and round angles. We see them here too. They lend Paleta an appearance so characteristic of the designs from Werner: discreet, soft and friendly. Asymmetrical three seat sofa with one arm...

De Sede DS-159 Three-Seat Sofa in Paris Blue Upholstery by De Sede Design Team

By De Sede

Located in Brooklyn, NY

The straight, simple and at the same time light design creates a noble piece of seating furniture that is a cabi net piece of upholstery craftsmanship. Its characteristic feature is the elaborate capitoning of the seat and back rest with leather buttons and piping. Individually design able seat combinations and sofa systems with individual elements measuring 80 x 80 cm make it possible – by the assisting couch- and hanging tables - to set perfect living accents. The DS-159 signifies by its clear, reduced design a cabinet piece of the upholstery handicraft. The form language of the cubic model appears noble and light at the same time. Whoever sits down in a DS-159 will immediately fall in love with the harmonious interplay of seating comfort and elegance. If you haven’t been fascinated until then, at the very latest the elaborate capitonation will definitely enchant you and will not let go anymore. Like that inexplicable power that fills our hearts - love - the modular extension options have a multi-faceted effect, as if you were getting to know your loved ones anew every day. Whether as an armchair, a sofa or in an unmistakable interplay with couch and hanging tables: perfectly coordinated seating combinations create a seating combination that has rightly become a cabinet piece of Swiss master...
