Hella Jongerius
The Worker Sofa
The project
The Worker Sofa that Hella Jongerius designed for Vitra was initially meant to be used in the kitchen, sun lounge, or reading room. Due to its compact dimensions, great seating comfort, and the typically Jongerius details, the Worker Sofa is also an excellent addition to the living room or the lounge. The Worker Sofa combines aspects of traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods.
Committee
Successful, stimulating combination of modern furniture tradition and the design of vernacular consumer products. The sofa is a splendid extension of the already existing Worker Chair.
