Arbour 2 Seater

ARBOUR Arbour 2 Seater

 

Designed by Norwegian designers Andreas Engesvik and Daniel Rybakken, the Arbour series embodies the concept that design should follow construction. Assembled from independently produced components, Arbour was developed to create a compact, comfortable and durable sofa. The solid wooden frame clearly defines the sofa’s space, creating a contrast that amplifies the soft, organic seats inside the architectural exterior. With its logical construction and uncluttered design language, Arbour fuses its distinctly Scandinavian aesthetics with high comfort and great durability. The Arbour family comprises a two- and three-seater sofa, and the more compact Arbour Club Sofa and Armchair.
