Less Sofa | Hjelle
Meet LESS, the sofa that’s all about keeping things refreshingly uncomplicated. Picture this: casual cushions and a sturdy wooden base, teaming up to create a blend of comfort and functionality – less is more, but never at the expense of style or quality. And if a part ever needs a refresh? No problem. Every component is designed for easy at-home replacement and the design supports flat-packed transport.
The idea for the LESS sofa was born when designer Lars Tornøe asked himself the following question: What is minimum required to construct a fully functional sofa? The solution was a simple wooden frame that serves as the ‘backbone’ of the entire sofa, both aesthetically and functionally. This frame is deliberately visible from all angles, acting as a pedestal for the soft cushions. All auxiliary components securely anchor to this primary structure.
While seat springs are pre-fitted at our factory, assembly of the legs and supports for the backs and armrests are done by the user. After this, the backs and armrests slide easily onto their supports. Lastly the seat cushions are put in place.
Thanks to the simple construction:
Use of glue is minimized and stapling is avoided. All components are designed for easy replacement. Material segregation facilitates efficient recycling. The sofa’s design supports flat-packed transport.
With the potential to last for generations, LESS embodies a blend of comfort and functionality without excess complexity.
