By its shape, the Sideways asymmetrical sofa is an invitation to conversation. Designed by Danish designer Rikke Frost, the Sideways sofa combines classic materials, like wood and paper cord, with a modern form, which serves a clear purpose.

Carl Hansen & Søn has over 110 years of experience in craftsmanship. Rikke Frost brings a modern idiom. It took him just three weeks to design the sofa prototype for Danmarks Radio's 'Denmark's Next Classic' TV show, where the sofa won first place in its category. The details and design were then refined – the upholstery, backrest and solid wood legs. In the end, form and function come together to produce a beautifully balanced sofa.

The steam-curved back and the organically shaped seat of the Sideways sofa form two seats that place the parts opposite each other, favoring the exchange. Open and inviting, the low back is made of solid wood and woven paper cord giving it a light and elegant look. The fabric-covered seat and back ensure optimal comfort.
