ADDITION SOFA
A testament to simplification and purpose. This series can be enjoyed for generations
with crafted details that capture the essence of classic design.
Inspired by a French rococo sofa, Klint designed a versatile,
modern sectional. The first variant was created in the early
1930s for the prestigious New Carlsberg Foundation offices
in Copenhagen. Klint then continued to refine the design,
presenting the final Addition Sofa at the 1933 Copenhagen
Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition.
The Addition Sofa is trimmed with piping to ensure beautiful,
clean seams around the seat and back. The leather pleats
create rhomboid panels that are held in place with
leather-covered buttons and open up when pressure is
applied to the sofa to keep the leather from overstretching.
The sofa quickly earned accolades for its simple construction
and sophisticated upholstery, including an award at the
Copenhagen Saddlemakers’ and Upholsterers’ Guild’s 475th
anniversary competition in 1935. Today, the modular design
remains a coveted choice for contemporary interiors.
Designed in 1933, Kaare Klint’s Addition Sofa is composed of two modules – one with
and one without a back – that can be combined to create the ideal seating arrangement
for any space.
