Designed by Ole Wanscher, the OW149-2 Colonial Sofa is a refined interpretation of classic furniture forms adapted for modern living.
Inspired by Wanscher’s admiration for 18th-century English furniture, the sofa combines elegant proportions with exceptional functionality and craftsmanship. Its slender silhouette and flexible, light expression are balanced by a carefully engineered structure that delivers remarkable strength and stability. The simple lattice-style construction allows each element to support the next, while discreet double centre legs provide additional reinforcement without compromising the sofa’s graceful appearance. Showcasing Wanscher’s signature attention to detail, the OW149-2 embodies a quiet sophistication defined by clean lines, refined proportions, and enduring comfort. Though minimal in form, the design carries a strong architectural presence that suits both contemporary and classic interiors. The sofa was conceived as a natural extension of Wanscher’s celebrated OW149 Colonial Chair and forms part of the Colonial Series, alongside the OW449 Colonial Coffee Table and the OW149F Colonial Footstool.
