Roma

Almost suspended above the floor, with the slenderest of legs upholding a large, cosy seat. Jonas Wagell imagines a family of sofas, inspired by the soft, curving form of a semicircle: this little collection, from armchair to sofa to chaise longue, is called Roma, a strong reference to the classical sphere in which its lines are rooted. With citations from fifties design, not of affectation, but of clear inspiration, this design is “classical” by nature, and not only in name.
