Design your own sofa
Fredericia Furniture is pleased to introduce a brand new sofa, the brainchild of famous Argentine designer Alfredo Häberli. The sofa consists of five modules that can be combined in any way you like.
Whether your living room is long and narrow, a perfect square, or made up of oblique angles, the new Seracs sofa from Fredericia Furniture is certain to fit in perfectly. The new sofa system consists of five separate modules you can combine however you choose.
Seracs is the work of Alfredo Häberli, the internationally esteemed Argentine designer who also created the Kvadrat textiles used to upholster the sofa modules. And of course you have a broad range of textiles to choose from. Every Seracs sofa solution is unique, and can be put together to create just right look for your home. It’s a sofa that is all about choice – and it offers virtually endless options to choose from.
Alfredo Häberli finds inspiration for his elegant, minimalist designs in everyday life – gathering impressions into themes so he can easily draw on them as needed. His products are so ingeniously simple, they can all be described in just a few phrases. One method he uses is to keep observing his work again and again throughout the process: “Observing is the most beautiful way to think. I am constantly discovering new things in a single object,” he says about his work.
