Sideways Series: Conversation and Craftsmanship, Rikke Frost for Carl Hansen & Søn

The Sideways collection, created by Rikke Frost for Carl Hansen & Søn, is designed to encourage dialogue as an alternative to being constantly connected to technology. The design develops through fluid lines and refined materials such as certified wood, and combines handcrafted art with contemporary style. Inspired by the symbolic and perfect shape of the circle, the series evokes a sense of balance and serenity. It’s perfect for environments designed for relaxation and interaction.

A distinctive element of the collection is the Sideways Lounge Chair, which stands out for its sculptural shape. It has a steam-curved wooden backrest and woven rope details. This armchair offers a cosy embrace, and transmits a feeling of protection and comfortable intimacy.

It’s beautiful placed next to the Sideways Coffee Table, which reflects its soft curves and combines a reversible top in wood, laminate or marble with elegant brass brackets.

The Sideways Sofa (2-3 seats), with its hand-woven backrest and an asymmetric silhouette, communicates Frost’s philosophy perfectly: this is a quiet space far from the digital world.
