byLassen Mingle Sofa

The Mingle sofa was designed in 1935 by architect Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) and was presented at The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition in the same year. It was subsequently praised for its qualities as a small but elegant sofa in the professional journal “The Architect”. Flemming Lassen loved to travel, and he was often inspired by his journeys throughout Europe. He was very taken with both Italy and France and had a burning desire to tour those countries on his motorcycle. Flemming Lassen wanted to create a sofa made for conversation with comfort that invited people to stay seated and talk together for long periods of time. The armrests were designed to encircle the sitters, generating intimacy and transforming the sofa into a cozy place to relax. Flemming Lassen took inspiration from both French elegance and modern Italian style and transferred the trends and his own ideas to a small, upholstered sofa called Mingle.

The Lassen brothers’ archive of architecture and furniture design represents the finest qualities of the Danish design tradition. A collection has been carefully and humbly selected, the furniture designs that were chosen to be reintroduced to the world will hopefully live a long life in the homes of future generations as beacons of the Danish design tradition that has inspired so many design talents.
