About the model
Brühl Alba – bright corner sofa for five
Brühl has offered the Alba for around thirty years and calls it a timeless classic with surprising possibilities. It was designed by Roland Meyer-Brühl. In the 55/70 – all in one version, the seats can be pulled forward by 15 cm. This increases the seat depth continuously from 55 to 70 cm. Folding headrest brackets hold cushions that serve as head cushions. Folding armrests quickly turn an Alba into a daybed or open up a corner sofa towards the room.
Alba corner sofa in white fabric
This Alba is a corner sofa with a white fabric cover. The corner is on the left, seen from the front. White keeps even a large sofa visually light and goes with any colour. With five seats, the corner sofa offers plenty of room for family and guests. The removable fabric covers make cleaning easier – a real advantage with white. A one-of-a-kind piece for bright, open living spaces.
Seating comfort and space
Brühl makes the Alba's upholstery relaxed and soft, firmer or with an integrated spring core, and the seating comfort depends on this choice. At 43 cm, the seat height is within the usual range. The corner sofa needs around 2.4 m along one wall and 1.9 m along the other. Allow around 60 to 80 cm of walking space in front of the sofa so that you can move freely around the room.
Elements and additions
Alba is available from a compact two-seater up to a four-seater and as a corner configuration of a longchair and an add-on sofa. Depending on the version, the sofas have folding armrests that quickly turn a sofa into a daybed. Some versions have folding headrest brackets for cushions that slot on, others plug-in headrests with adjustable tilt. You can order replacement covers in fabric or leather through Brühl specialist retailers.
Caring for the fabric cover
Light fabrics show stains more quickly, which is why the removable cover is worthwhile. It is attached to the sofa body with hook-and-loop tape. Washable Brühl fabrics can go on a gentle cycle at up to 30 °C but not in the tumble dryer, and others should be dry-cleaned. For everyday care, vacuum the fabric with the upholstery nozzle and dab stains immediately with a damp cloth.
Why buy a pre-owned Brühl Alba?
Brühl has been manufacturing in Bad Steben since 1948 and checks every piece at final inspection before it leaves the workshop. On every Brühl seating model, the upholstery can be replaced while the frame continues to be used. Sometimes a new fleece wrap is all it takes to make the padding fuller. This keeps a pre-owned Alba comfortable for a long time. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
Frequently asked questions
Are the Alba's covers removable?
Yes, the Alba's fabric covers can be removed. They are held in place by hook-and-loop strips, which you can feel along the bottom edge of the sofa. A fixed cover, by contrast, would be stapled.
What can the Alba's folding armrests do?
When lowered, they turn a sofa into a daybed, and on corner sofas they open up the arrangement towards the centre of the room. Brühl offers seven side sections, two of which fold down. Do not sit on the armrests when they are folded down, as the mechanism may suffer.
What is it like to sit on the Alba?
That depends on the version. Brühl makes the Alba with relaxed, soft upholstery, with firmer seating comfort or with smooth upholstery and an integrated spring core. The seat depth is 55 or 63 cm, and on the 55/70 it can be extended continuously up to 70 cm.
How is an Alba corner sofa put together?
Compact corner sofas combine a longchair, whose side arm can be slid along, with an add-on sofa. But Brühl also plans large, individually configured arrangements. For particularly wide corner sofas, there is an extra-wide longchair with four headrest brackets.
Which versions of the Alba are there?
There are three versions. The 55/70 version has infinitely adjustable seat depth and folding headrest brackets, while system/m has integrated brackets and a choice of 55 or 63 cm seat depth. The system/o version comes without brackets, with optional plug-in headrests that tilt.
Which bases are available for the Alba?
The options are floating feet that can be adjusted in height, as well as angled feet, runners and height-adjustable wooden feet. The base determines how light the sofa looks. Brühl replaces individual feet and glides when needed.
Can I see the sofa before buying?
Yes – the sofa is at Warehouse Hamburg. Viewing by appointment, or alternatively by video call.
The family firm Brühl has made upholstered furniture in Bad Steben, Upper Franconia, since 1948. Many of its sofas adjust or transform, and numerous designs are by Roland Meyer-Brühl: on the Roro (since 1998) the arms and back adjust continuously, while on the Moule (since 2003) two swivel seats convert into loungers or a sleeping surface in a few movements. Frames are made from solid beech, and each complete cover is sewn by one person. Kati Meyer-Brühl has been creative director since 2008.
