Know before you buy
The Favn sofa measures 87.01 inches in width and 36.61 inches in depth. Given its curved, organic silhouette, ensure you have enough clearance around the piece to appreciate its sculptural form.
The sofa is constructed with a hard polyurethane and fiberglass-reinforced foam envelope over a steel frame. This provides a supportive, structured sit that maintains the sofa's distinct shape while remaining comfortable for extended lounging.
Yes, the Favn is available in a curated selection of high-quality textiles, including velvet, linen, and polyester blends. Each option is selected by Fritz Hansen to balance aesthetic texture with the durability required for a primary living room sofa.
The sofa arrives as a stationary, high-quality piece of furniture. It includes a set of large felt glides to protect your flooring, but it does not require complex assembly beyond standard placement.
While the Favn is classified as a three-seater, its organic, rounded arms and enveloping shape create a more intimate seating experience. It comfortably accommodates three people, though the design is specifically optimized to make the corner and center spots feel equally inviting.
The upholstery is professionally tailored to the sofa's complex, curved frame and is not designed to be removed by the user. We recommend professional upholstery cleaning services to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the sofa's unique silhouette.
