Behind the Design with Muuto's Outline Series

In Good Company is looking behind the design with muuto and the design duo Anderssen & Voll to explore the Outline Sofa Series. The Outline Sofa Family adds new perspectives to the classic Scandinavian design sofas of the 1960's, marrying the ideals of simplicity and function into one. With the design taking its name from its strong outline of a sofa, the Outline family is clean and elegant on the outside with a deep seat and soft cushioning on its inside.

Muuto sat down with the Norwegian design duo for a conversation on creating families within design, what binds the members of the Outline Family together and how to balance the ideas of comfort and simplicity.

“We find that design families in many ways are a lot similar to the families of humans in the sense that they continuously evolve over time, particularly so when new members are born into them, adding new perspectives to their combined expression,” says Espen Voll.

First came the Outline Chair: “It was a natural extension of the Outline Sofa, working to create a chair that would pair seamlessly with the sofa while having a strong individual identity that allowed for it to be used on its own as a highlighted armchair or small sofa,” adds Anderssen.

Being a design that adds new perspectives to the classic Scandinavian design sofas of the 1960’s through a combination of simplicity and function, the duo identified a sentiment that could be translated into new typologies. On that, Voll says: “We started sketching around and discovered that the key elements of Outline and its design principles—slimming down proportions for an elegant look while having a high level of comfort—could be applied to more forms.”

“In essence, the Outline Family is characterized by its clean and elegant outside, presented in combination with a deep seat and soft cushioning, allowing for it to complement its surroundings while being something that you’d spend hours on end in,” ends Anderssen.
