It’s not often that our design team is surprised or taken aback by a collection. But when we heard that Nordic brand Muuto had managed to encapsulate the generosity of the great Italian loungers into a petite Scandi style, we knew we had to take a closer look. The Outline Sofa is, indeed, a triumph of contemporary design. Its plush depths are offset by slim armrests and tall feet — all of which collude to create a luxurious lounging experience. So popular has it proven across Scandinavia that it is now available as a sofa, lounge chair or daybed. To help you cosy up your living room this season, we’ll be offering 20% off collection wide throughout the month of October. Think of it as a small thank you from one set of design-lovers to another.
The Outline Collection
All clean lines and deep cushions, Outline is, in many ways, the archetypal modern sofa. Its sleek silhouette fits neatly into any home — with the option of a studio range for particularly compact spaces.
“We changed the proportions and made the cushions slimmer. Suddenly it became a grand sofa…Even though it’s very tight and small — it’s a grand sofa,” explains designers Anderssen & Voll.
This sense of understated luxury perfectly encapsulated the interior mood at the close of the decade and, in 2020, Muuto released the Outline Daybed — a gorgeous accompaniment for modern lounges and offices.
It was an instant success, existing somewhere between the casual elegance of Carl Hansen & Son’s OW150 and more high-end designs such as Knoll’s Barcelona Day Bed.
In a recent interview, the designers revealed how what began as an investigation into traditional Scandi seating has actually gone a step further in uncovering a new kind of minimalism — one that’s warm, soft and deeply luxurious.
“The Outline adds to Scandinavian design by introducing a more continental feel. Better still, it keeps evolving, even after it’s been launched — that’s what makes it new and exciting.”
Design lovers can currently shop the entire Outline collection online with 20% off at Chaplins. The only thing left to do is to choose which style is right for you. Peep the full collection below.
