Product description
A striking Bauhaus sofa, model 444, originally designed by W.H. Gispen and produced as a high-quality re-edition by Dutch Originals in the Netherlands during the 1990s. This model is based on Gispen’s groundbreaking tubular steel designs from the interwar period, which played a defining role in the development of modern European furniture.
The sofa is characterized by its clear architectural structure and elegant tubular steel frame, which wraps around the upholstered body with a continuous, flowing line. The generously proportioned seat and backrest are upholstered in a deep red textile, creating a powerful visual contrast with the polished steel armrests and legs. The design balances functional clarity with a refined sense of comfort, demonstrating Gispen’s mastery in translating Bauhaus principles into practical, enduring furniture.
As a Dutch Originals production, this piece faithfully reflects the original Gispen philosophy: honest materials, industrial precision, and timeless modernity. A highly recognizable and historically grounded sofa, equally suited to contemporary interiors and design-focused collections.
