With
the sublime 416 sofa, which was brought onto the market by Artifort in
1960, renowned designer Kho Liang Ie made a clear statement that was far
ahead of its time. In his voyage of discovery undertaken within the
strict social constraints of the late 1950s, he sought the contrast
between soft materials and rigid structures. This resulted in a modular
sofa that looks remarkable from any angle. Artifort is proud to once
again offer this modern masterpiece with all of its possibilities.
The minimalist frame of the 416 sofa consists of a careful balance
between brushed stainless steel and black coated metal elements,
finished with slats made from Santos rosewood. The padded seat cushion
provides maximum comfort. After reassessing the original materials,
Artifort now also offers the possibility of giving this sublime design a
contemporary touch, without detracting from its unique elegance and
style.
