Council Family Lounge Sofa
Design by
Salto & Sigsgaard
Year
2024
The Council Family Sofa is the latest addition to the Council Family Series – designed with the same refined expression, comfort, and craftsmanship as the lounge chair. Ideal for relaxed furnishing in both professional and residential settings, the sofa combines timeless aesthetics with a strong, architectural presence.
Built on a durable steel base available in black or graphite powder coating, the sofa offers high-quality cushioning and a gently contoured backrest for maximum comfort and support. It is upholstered in textile, leather, or a combination of both, with the option to highlight its elegant silhouette by choosing different materials or colors for the interior and exterior surfaces. As with the chair, the specially cast toes can be customized to suit a variety of flooring types. Designed to complement the existing Council Family Series, the sofa brings the same attention to detail and versatility to spaces that require a more generous seating solution – without compromising on the visual clarity that defines the series.

Council Family Series
The Council Family is a series of furniture, which includes chairs, tables, and a sofa, designed by Kasper Salto & Thomas Sigsgaard, who make up the design duo Salto & Sigsgaard.Â
The series has emerged from a design process that took its point of departure in New York City 10 years ago when Salto & Sigsgaard entered the winning bid in a 2011-design competition to partially refurbish the interior of the Trusteeship Council Chamber (also known as the Finn Juhl Chamber) at the UN headquarters in New York. In terms of shape, the Council Family Series stands on the shoulders of the iconic winning bid, the Council Chair.
The Council Family Series introduces multiple versions to increase the usage significantly. The series is based on longevity, responsible sourcing, and modern production methods. A fusion moulding technique that is produced via low emission raw materials ensures that better quality is achieved while being superior in terms of environmental friendliness. The foam employed in the chairs is fire retardant and halogen-free and thus lives up to international standards and certification requirements.
