Mayor Sofa AJ5
In 1939 Arne Jacobsen and Flemming Lassen won an open competition to design a new town hall, a new library and a theatre in Søllerød (Rudersdal).
For the town hall, they designed a wedding room with accompanying furniture - including a sofa for the waiting area for the couple to sit in before getting married Designed for the solemnity, the appearance of the sofa was shaped with high vertical backs and sides.
Jacobsen and Lassen wanted to take a more human approach to modernism and they focused heavily on comfort and livability. The Mayor Sofa won the award for 'Best Reissue' at the prestigious Wallpaper* Design Awards in 2013.
