Frame is a sofa with a distinctively high seat, making it particularly ideal for dining environments or other areas where a higher seat is desired. The design is the epitome of minimalism, consisting of only two elements: A simple, slightly rounded seat elegantly integrated into the gently angled backrest. Frame draws inspiration from classic American diners, often characterized by smaller booths with quilted dining sofas.

Designer Simon Legald explains, “The idea was to take the heavy, upholstered dining sofa out of the diner and give it a more contemporary expression. Frame has been an exploration of how to create a similar product that better caters to modern needs and interiors.”

The result is a completely clean, simple profile, extruded into four different lengths. Appropriately named “Frame”, the collection gracefully frames the surroundings in which it is placed. The design is crafted from high-quality PU foam with an internal wooden reinforcement structure and powder-coated steel legs. Frame can be customized with Normann Copenhagen’s wide-ranging assortment of upholstery options, which offers textiles and leathers in hundreds of thousands of colors and variations.
