Artifort Sofas in Beige Wool

Artifort, sofas model '905', chrome-plated metal, wool, The Netherlands, 1964The Artifort sofa model '905' was designed by the company in 1964. Although the design was created in the sixties, thanks to its very modest and clean look, it still feels modern today. This model is based on a solid construction of slim lines and angular shapes, underlining the clear structure of the design. The tilted backrest and thick cushions provide seating comfort. Artifort was founded by Jules Wagemans in Maastricht in 1890. During this period, the company only focused on the upholstery of furniture. Wagemans’ son, Henricus, changed the business to a furniture factory. During this period, the company was called ‘H. Wagemas & Van Tuinen’, but in 1928 they officially changed their name to ‘Artifort’. Deriving from Latin, ‘Ars’ meaning art or knowledge and ‘ Fortis’ meaning strong, the name refers to one of their biggest fundaments: creating good quality but aesthetically pleasing designs.Please note that we advise reupholstery before use.
