Carl Hansen & Son taps the expertise of Danish designer Rikke Frost to add more designs to the Sideways Series. The brand is introducing the Sideways Lounge Chair and the Coffee Table to the roster. The collection draws inspiration from the very essence of human connection. The structural design of the furniture encourages a comfortable interaction between humans face to face.
This is translated through the natural curves with designated areas that are meant to hold small items such as phones and other technology so that they will not be of distraction. The engaging design is backed by thoughtful aesthetics with reminders of how important human connection is. The Lounge Chair is made with a solid wooden frame and soft upholstery and the Coffee Table has a reversible table top supported by a wooden frame with various storage solutions.
