Superior craftsmanship and classic comfort

The OW602 sofa was designed by Ole Wanscher in 1960 as part of a complete living room set. As with many of his other works, Wanscher found the inspiration for this series beyond the borders of his native Denmark, merging elements of classic English and Oriental furniture to create a new expression. Comfortable and elegant, with a clean and dynamic design, the OW602 sofa combines linear and organic forms to great modern effect. The sofa is still crafted by hand over solid wood frames, carrying on Wanscher’s legacy of extremely precise craftsmanship. The OW602 two-seater sofa is also available in a three-seater version, the OW603 sofa. Since their introduction in 1960, both furniture pieces have become treasured classics.

Ole Wanscher (1903-1985), was born in Copenhagen in 1903 and was an architect and professor of architecture with furniture designs as his specialty. He came to shape Danish furniture, both as an active designer and as a master teacher. His furniture designs are now considered to be modern classics - sophisticated and functional with an exquisite attention to detail. Construction and form was of the utmost importance to Ole Wanscher, treating furniture design as if it was a branch of architecture. He studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and also worked for the master himself from 1924-1927, before becoming an independent achitect specializing in furniture design. He later followed in Kaare Klint's footsteps as a professor at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts with a master in furniture design.
