Story
A sofa built from modules
Delphi is a series of sofas and single modules made by Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein in 2007, and is the essential Danish landscape sofa. Delphi Elements are composed of separate modules that can be rearranged whenever the room or the use changes.
Upholstery as the signature
Fredericia points to the backrest and seat-cushion stitching, and to the arms, as the places where its upholstery work shows. Configuration A is one arrangement of those parts, with a 325 x 170 cm plan.
