ELLE DECOR: Swan™ Sofa and Karui Trays

In the September 2015 issue of ELLE Decor, Arne Jacobsen’s iconic Swan™ Sofa and GamFratesi’s Karui Trays are featured in the publication.

The Swan™ Sofa is one of designers Penny Drue Baird and Kerry Joyce’s selections for the top 10 settees in the magazine’s the Truth in Decorating edit. Designed in 1958 for the SAS Hotel, this two-seater version of the Swan™ Chair features a structural form that is sensuous and organic. Ideal for lounges, suites, and residential homes, the Swan™ Sofa pairs wonderfully with the Swan™ Chair to complete a coordinated collection of modern and comfortable pieces.

GamFratesi’s Karui Trays make the publication’s Whats Hot edit, a selection unique designs from around the world. The name “Karui” derives from the Japanese meaning “soft” (in relation to the leather) but also light because of the trays’ minimal aesthetic. The trays are made using metal spinning, a classic Skultuna production technique
