Carl Hansen RF1903 Sideways Sofa
The RF1903 Sideways Sofa, designed by Rikke Frost for Carl Hansen & Søn, is part of the Sideways Series – a collection that rethinks traditional lounge seating by encouraging more relaxed and social sitting positions.
The design combines a sculptural solid wood frame with a fully upholstered seat and backrest, creating a comfortable two-person sofa that invites informal conversation. The open wooden frame and gently curved armrest allow the sofa to be approached and used from different angles, supporting the sideways seating concept that defines the series.
With its blend of natural materials, soft upholstery and generous proportions, the RF1903 works well in living spaces, lounge areas and hospitality environments where comfort and contemporary Danish design are equally valued.
