Reminiscent of the rolling hills of an Aspen landscape, the Aspen Sofa was originally designed by French designer Jean-Marie Massaud in 2007. Its modern and minimalistic form is defined by its exposed steel and a backrest that tapers horizontally to the left or right to create a floating effect.
Our Aspen Sofa is available in two lengths. Consider pairing a left and right configuration together, or mix and match it with the Aspen Sofa: Long to create a more extensive seating arrangement.
