Make a statement in contemporary comfort with the Fritz Hansen Alphabet 2-Seater Sofa PL240-5.
Designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, this distinctive sofa brings together generous cushioning, architectural simplicity and a playful approach to upholstery. Its relaxed proportions and carefully constructed form make it an elegant addition to modern living rooms, sophisticated lounges and design-led commercial interiors.
Part of Fritz Hansen's celebrated Alphabet Sofa collection, the PL240-5 takes inspiration from the shapes and proportions of colourful building bricks. Lissoni reinterprets this familiar idea through a sophisticated arrangement of upholstered forms, creating furniture that feels inviting, expressive and distinctly modern. Introduced in 2008, the Alphabet series challenges the idea that a sofa must be a fixed, conventional shape. Its individual modules can be combined in different configurations, allowing the collection to adapt to changing interiors and different ways of living. The result is a sofa with a distinctive presence that balances playful inspiration with the refined aesthetic expected of contemporary designer furniture.
Although the PL240-5 makes an impressive standalone sofa, it also belongs to a wider system designed for creative freedom. Concealed connections allow Alphabet modules to be combined into different arrangements, making the collection suitable for evolving residential interiors and carefully planned commercial spaces. Designed by Piero Lissoni, whose work is recognised for its clarity of form and attention to detail, the Alphabet Sofa brings together Italian design sensibility and Fritz Hansen's Scandinavian design heritage.
