GUBI presents the
SW50 Sofa, a
sofa designed by Danish designer Illum Wikkelsø in 1959. The design reveals a more restrained and refined side of his work, defined by elongated horizontal proportions, an exposed wooden structure, and a visually light silhouette. Crafted from FSC®-certified oak and wood sourced from other responsible sources (FSC® C176589), the structure reinforces the sofa’s calm and architectural character. Its slightly upright seating position encourages conversation and social interaction, while its open construction and slender proportions allow it to sit lightly within a variety of interiors. Reintroduced by
GUBI in its original four-seater format, the SW50 Sofa remains highly relevant today through its openness, material honesty, and understated expression.
