Just when we thought modern designers had accomplished away with the overstuffed sofa for great, along comes Swell, the newest piece from Denmark’s Normann Copenhagen, with its pleasingly plump profile meant to reference a loaf of bread. A creation of Swedish designer Jonas Wagell, Swell’s exaggerated roundness is, in some approaches, the antithesis of Moderism’s obsession with angular forms, and deliberately so. Says Wagell, ”I’ve constantly been fascinated by minimalism but I like to add a warm and personal touch to the items.” Our guess is that Modernists with an unspoken penchant for comfort will uncover Swell’s inviting softness not only warm, but downright delicious.
