Once furnished, few rooms flaunt a mirrored image from wall to wall, so why don't more designers take up the opportunity to escape from symmetry in individual objects? The Toward Sofa demonstrates the delightful outcome of Anne Boysen's creativity that produces a playfulness and visual intrigue that would be sure to enliven a living room.
This modern chesterfield consists of a plushy mattress atop four wooden legs. The backrests are especially unusual since the pair of them differ in their height and length dimensions, and in many cases, their upholstery is of different shades of brown and gray. Erik Jørgensen manufactures the Toward Sofa with a pair of like armrests on either side too. These can be moved about to tighten, to widen or to separate the seating space.
