Story

The archetype of the Danish sofa

Fredericia presents the EJ220 within its Erik Jørgensen sofa collection, headed "Danish sofa design without compromise since 1954", and calls it the archetype of the classic Danish sofa, with a high degree of comfort set against the tight lines of the frame and legs. The page also says the balanced firmness of the cushions and the precision of the fabric upholstery come from many years of experience with sofa production, craftsmanship and attention to materials.

Fixed or removable covers

For this model Fredericia offers fabric covers fixed or removable, which the sheet describes as a non-removable external cover as standard and a removable one as an option. The cushion covers themselves are removable, and the sheet notes that cushions in fabric can be turned over.
