BY FLEMMING LASSEN 1938
Flemming Lassen designed the Mingle sofa in 1938 for the annual Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition
and received standing ovations for its qualities as a small, elegant and simple design by, amongst others,
the renowned Danish journal, Arkitekten (The Architect). Flemming Lassen drew inspiration from his many
journeys around Europe and dreamt of riding his motorcycle through Italy and France. Looking at Mingle,
you will see his love for French elegance combined with modern Italian style. Wanting to create the ideal
sofa for conversations, he designed the armrests to encircle the sitters, generating intimacy and transforming
the sofa into a cosy place to relax and for long, intimate tête-à-têtes.
