Lensvelt Studio Stefan Scholten Sofa 2-Seater (160x84cm) Middle Lounge Part Moss Stone Grey (11) Frame Black (RAL9005)

A bold embrace

Just before the first corona outbreak, they began their collaboration on the complete sofa collection called Bold. Stefan Scholten: "I thought the Lensvelt collection could use some softening and organic shapes. Therefore, the Bold collection is about soft, friendly shapes that offer optimal comfort".

The Bold series is a compact sofa system. The four main elements correspond visually to each other. The two- and three-seater sofa with armrests, the settee with one armrest (available in a left and right-hand version), and an armchair and ottoman are all visually connected. At first glance, the furniture appears symmetrical, but when viewed in real-life, the asymmetrical shapes create an exciting experience in the room. For example, the seat of the 2-seater sofa is almond-shaped, and the back/armrest of the settee sofa gives you the feeling of being embraced by gentle and safe arms.

Lensvelt and Studio Stefan Scholten

"Just like Lensvelt, I value expressiveness. Furniture should speak for itself." Says Stefan Scholten, who was approached by Hans Lensvelt to design a sofa. There were several conditions the designs had to meet. The result had to be applicable, functional, durable and expressive, and it had to fit within the Lensvelt concept of outspoken furniture with a wink. With this furniture, Lensvelt wants to create an accessible and practical product that fits in with the spirit of the times in terms of both quality and comfort.
 
Hans Lensvelt (CEO and owner of Lensvelt) and designer Stefan Scholten met each other for the first time over twenty years ago during the Salone Del Mobile in Milan. During the recent launch party, Stefan reminded Hans of their first meeting when Hans said to him: 'we must work together.
After they both had a fruitful and productive career in the design world, twenty years later, it finally happened.
