Artifort 416 Classic Sofa
Compact, lightweight and remarkable from any angle. With the sublime C416 sofa, which was brought onto the market by Artifort in 1960, renowned designer Kho Liang Ie made a clear statement that was far ahead of its time. In his voyage of discovery undertaken within the strict social constraints of the late 1950s, he sought the contrast between soft materials and rigid structures. This resulted in a modular sofa that looks remarkable from any angle. Artifort is proud to once again offer this modern masterpiece with all of its possibilities.
