LOVE HIGHBACK SOFA BY MARCEL WANDERS

The LOVE HIGHBACK SOFA BY MARCEL WANDERS takes the romance of Marcel Wanders’ original Love Sofa and raises it — literally, by 25 centimetres of continuous curved backrest that wraps from the seat cushion upward and outward in a single unbroken gesture of enclosure. Where the standard Love Sofa embraces from the sides, the Highback adds depth at the rear: a tall, softly sculpted back that frames the sitter, shields them from the room, and makes the experience of sitting in it feel less like occupying a piece of furniture and more like being held by one.

In this terracotta woven fabric, the LOVE HIGHBACK SOFA BY MARCEL WANDERS finds a colourway that is warm, deliberate, and quietly ambitious. The tone sits between rose and amber, with enough ochre in it to read as sophisticated in the warm light of an evening interior without losing its inherent softness in daylight. The woven texture — fine, tightly woven, with a surface that has genuine tactile presence — picks up light differently across the curved surfaces of the high back and the generous seat, creating the kind of tonal variation that makes the sofa appear to shift colour with the time of day. Two matching scatter cushions are included, their proportions slightly smaller and more relaxed, suited to the wide seat and deep arms.

The rounded wooden legs in a darker stained finish ground the piece with warmth and visual weight appropriate to the high back above, preventing the sofa from feeling top-heavy despite its generous upholstered volume. Moulded foam over a metal frame provides the structured support that allows the Highback’s tall silhouette to hold its form over time — the durability that Wanders describes as the essential counterpart to romance in the Love Sofa’s design brief.

The LOVE HIGHBACK SOFA BY MARCEL WANDERS suits rooms where a reading chair, a conversation sofa, and a statement piece are all needed from a single object: a library, a generous bedroom, a sitting room arranged around a fireplace. The additional back height makes it the version that earns its place in architecturally tall spaces and rooms with visible wall treatment, where the sofa itself becomes part of the room’s vertical composition.
