"Expressive and unique new sofa from Danish/Italian design duo GamFratesi. Available in two or three seat sizes, with contrasting colours and fabrics on the outer and inner shell. This playful new design is an eye-catching conversation piece for any environment.
It was love at first sight. At the Milan furniture fair 2011, we caught sight of a sofa that stood out with simple elegance among the many prototypes. Haiku had an exquisite quality about it, with echoes of the Finn Juhl classic, the Poet. We immediately knew that we had to produce it. The design duo behind it, GamFratesi, are from Italy and Denmark; an unexpected, but surprisingly harmonious, pairing. This is reflected in how Haiku effortlessly combines the simple with the expressive. The contrast repeats in the meeting between the rigid, enclosing shape of the exterior and the softer, more intimate interior. The name Haiku is chosen from the traditional Japanese poetry tradition of describing a mood in a few words. In the same way, GamFratesi has used simple means to create a sofa that both suggests a protective function and encourages a sense of expression."

Founded in 1911, the Danish furniture brand FREDERICIA is a family-run furniture company. They innovated the original classical furniture design style, a new unique Nordic style design concept in FREDERICIA. They are designed and proud of respecting independent thinking and providing high quality product standards.
FREDERICIA's furniture has a strong design connotation, and has a product personality that is not afraid to be defined as mediocrity. The product meets today's demand criteria and is not limited to a particular design policy. We believe that too many framed bars are an obstacle to design. FREDERICIA pursues the design, aesthetics and practicality of the products, and combines the traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial production techniques, and is committed to inheriting and continuing the spirit and dream of “making everyone in the world affordable for high-quality furniture”.
FREDERICIA unites Scandinavia and many internationally renowned designers such as Børge Mogensen, Cecilie Manz, Alfredo Häberli, Hans J. Wegner, Space Copenhagen and GamFratesi. Together they created these impressively beautiful furniture products.
In the FREDERICIA flagship store in Copenhagen, you will find many amazing design products, and the design and display atmosphere here is definitely worthy of you. FREDERICIA's showroom is very modern and the products are beautifully displayed. These enduring classics, such as chairs, tables, sofas, etc., in contrast to the interior design with dark floors and white walls, show that FREDERICIA's products go beyond time-limited features.
Recently, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the iconic Spanish chair, Fredericia introduced a special edition made of solid oak and elegant olive green saddle leather to commemorate Børge Mogensen, one of Denmark's four major design masters. BørgeMogensen was designed in 1958 and made a Spanish chair by Fredericia.
