    OW149-2 | Colonial Sofa

    Material:

    oak, oil

    Upholstery:

    TERRA® 20366 Marble

    The OW149-2 Colonial Sofa was designed by Ole Wanscher in 1964. Manufactured in very small quantities, the design was virtually unknown until Carl Hansen & Søn launched the entire Colonial Series in 2015.

    Ole Wanscher was integral to the aesthetic and functionality of modern Danish design. Having studied under Kaare Klint, he helped shape Danish furniture design as a designer and as an educator when he took over Klint’s professorship at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Wanscher’s classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts”.

        Slender details and great comfort

        The OW149-2 Colonial Sofa designed by Ole Wanscher is a trademark interpretation of classic shapes according to modern needs for functionality. With its flexible shapes and slim dimensions, the sofa’s style reflects Wanscher’s fascination with 18th-century English furniture design. The design communicates Wanscher’s fondness for refined detailing. The OW149-2 Colonial Sofa features a relatively simple lattice construction, its elements supporting one another. The slender dimensions are minimal, the design’s strength achieved instead through a well-conceived structure that includes double center legs for strength. The sofa is as a reimagination of his popular OW149 Colonial Chair from 1949 and is part of the Colonial Series, which also features the OW449 Colonial Coffee Table and the OW149F Colonial Footstool.
