Modul (CLH)

Designer Chris L. Halstrøm has created a flexible piece of furniture for A. Petersen with multiple uses. It is a daybed, a sofa, a spare bed, a chair and a lounge module all in one. The Modul consists of two elements, a chair and a sofa, which can be put together or used individually. The Modul comes in mahogany with a seat in leather, stuffed with hairlock. In all simplicity, the Modul consists of a wooden frame, an upholstered seat, and one, respectively two, bolsters. The bolster has a slit that lets it grip a transverse backbar – a design touch which contributes to the high degree of flexibility. When the bolster is removed, the full depth of the seat can be utilized, and the Modul can be used as a guest bed or a classic daybed. ‘The depth of the piece has the pedagogical effect of encouraging movement and invites you to pull up your legs,’ says Chris L. Halstrøm. The cylindrical back cushion not only adds character but also makes the Modul suited for use as a free-standing element in the room. When the piece is pulled out from the wall, it can be accessed from both sides, and the round shape of the back now offers a minimal seat for a brief rest. The removable bolster also contributes to the sofa’s flexibility. For example, it can be moved around and used to support your neck or your legs.
