Story
A sofa defined by its modules
Normann Copenhagen frames Sum around a question about module count: two, four or nine. Whatever the number, the look stays complete, from a two-seater to a lounge several metres long. Buyers add up the module types they want into a customised sofa.
Wings and legs
The text pictures the armrests as a wingspread reaching out, giving the sofa an open and inviting character. Slim angled legs contrast with the generous back and armrest, and the rear is resolved so the piece reads well from every side.
