Description
Swedish designer Arne Norell’s designs gained recognition for their use of traditional materials, like fabrics and wood, combined with simple and vanguard lines. This three-seater ‘Langenthal’ sofa was designed by Arne Norell in the 1960s for Norell Möbel AB, the workshop founded in 1954 by Arne Norell. Ever since its establishment, it has been a family business carrying on Norell’s design legacy, and the same factory that Arne Norell built in the 1950s is still where the company exists today in Sweden.
The design of this remarkable sofa carries a certain “design weight” that is the result of its understated elegance, premium materials, and outstanding craftsmanship. Norell was known for his versatile use of wood and leather in his furniture designs, which are characterised by comfort and ease, and were to a great extent inspired by Danish design. This ‘Langenthal’ sofa is no exception, with a design ethos centered on its linear characteristics, stylish upholstery, and the subtly curved edges offering gentle yet robust support for the spine. The tightly fitted upholstery and wood frame complement each other in numerous ways, enhancing each other’s individual qualities, such as the wooden legs’ distinctive lines and the fabric’s rich texture. The result is an infinitely elegant and comfortable look that is unlikely to ever lose its appeal.
Norell began his journey as a furniture designer in the 1950s, becoming renowned for his ability to seamlessly blend comfort and aesthetics through innovative experimentation. During the 1960s, Swedish furniture design witnessed a transformative period marked by a departure from ornate and heavy styles to more streamlined, minimalist forms. Arne Norell played a pivotal role in shaping this evolution, embracing a modernist ethos while staying true to the principles of excellent craftsmanship and quality materials. His designs, including the ‘Langenthal’ model, are celebrated for their timeless appeal, functional elegance and style.
