Ornäs' Åre is an elegant and timeless sofa originally designed by Carl-Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs in 1958. The Scandinavian modern sofa charms with its sculptural appearance, where every element has been considered to the smallest detail, as is typical of Hiort af Ornäs' design. The sofa's elegant oak back ensures that the three-seater does not have to be placed against a wall, but can be positioned in the middle of the room – either as a practical room divider or just as a charming eye-catcher! The sleek look of the leather sofa is crowned by a beautifully sculpted foot. Like other Ornäs products, the Åre sofa is handcrafted in Finland.
