Swell Modular Sofa (2013/2023)
Normann Copenhagen, Denmark
Swell is a minimalistic furniture collection with a playful, light-hearted feel designed for Normann Copenhagen in Denmark. The collection comprises a welcoming armchair and a variety of 10 different sofa modules, enabling any desired configuration of the distinctly plump design.
The Scandinavian simplicity of the design is accentuated by a stringent form without unnecessary details. Despite this, Swell oozes with character and personality and its soft, curved shapes makes it both inviting and provides a fantastic sitting comfort.
Jonas Wagell says: ”I’ve always been fascinated by minimalism, but I like to add a warm and personal touch to the products. I have taken the aesthetic and practical qualities that I prefer in furniture for the living room as a reference point, and in this way, Swell very much reflects my own personal taste and style”.
The name Swell is a reference to rising bread with its full shape, consisting of a robust padded back and seat and two curvy armrests. The stitching on the back and the seats divides the sofas into sections and completes the feel.
Swell was launched by Normann Copenhagen already in 2013 with two and three-seat sofas and armchair, and is now - ten years later - introduced in its original, modular configuration.
