SW50 4 Seater Sofa

$19,999

The SW50 Sofa, designed by Illum Wikkelsø in 1959, reflects a more restrained side of the
Danish designer’s work. Defined by long horizontal proportions, a visible wooden structure, and a visually light expression, the sofa balances structural clarity with inviting comfort. Crafted from FSC®-certified oak and wood from other responsible sources (FSC® C176589), the structure reinforces the sofa’s calm and architectural character. The slightly upright seating position encourages conversation and social interaction, while the open construction and slender proportions allow the sofa to sit lightly within a space. Reintroduced by GUBI in its original four-seater format, the SW50 remains distinctly relevant today through its openness, material honesty, and understated expression.

About the Designer: Illum Wikkelsø

Danish furniture designer Kristian Illum Wikkelsø (1919–1999) believed that furniture should be built to last, to indulge the body and to please the eye. He belonged to a group of designers who represented the Golden Age of Danish design during the 1950s and 1960s. With his clear design aesthetic and deep understanding of materials, he was one of the key protagonists to make Danish design style an international phenomenon.
