MAYOR

Out of respect for the original design, the new addition emphasizes the classic and iconic shape. With its modest dimensions of just 138 cm in length, the sofa fits perfectly into smaller homes and spaces – meeting a growing trend of small living.

The frame is made from solid oak and is hand-built by skilled craftsmen, which makes the sofa a true statement of handcraft and traditional woodworks.

The Mayor was initially introduced in 1939 in conjunction with Søllerød City Hall, also designed by Arne Jacobsen and Flemming Lassen. Being responsible for the entire city hall’s aesthetic appearance, from the design of the entire building to furniture and small details such as door handles, Jacobsen & Lassen also designed a wedding room with accompanying furniture - including a sofa for the waiting area. Exploiting the symbolism of a ritual act, they created a universal design that shows a moderation of modernism and a unique regional adaption.
