Brühl Fourtwo Corner sofa, Fabric Grey

Brühl Fourtwo – compact corner sofa that transforms

The Fourtwo was designed by Roland Meyer-Brühl, and according to Stylepark the compact version dates from 2009. In 2021, Brühl introduced the soft version. Both consist of a longchair and a swivel sofa and combine a sofa, lounging area and guest bed in a limited space. The compact version feels pleasantly firmer and, with its smooth surfaces, has a clean-cut look. The soft version has soft, relaxed upholstery. Each version has its own matching set of cushions, and the base is available in metal or wood.

Fourtwo corner sofa in grey fabric

This Fourtwo is a corner sofa with a grey fabric cover. The longchair forms the corner on the left, seen from the front, and the swivel sofa joins it on the right. Grey is a calm base for cushions and throws in strong colours. With four seats, the corner sofa suits families, the living room or a spacious study. The removable fabric covers make it practical for everyday life, even with children.

Seating comfort and space

Depending on the version, the upholstery is soft and relaxed (soft) or pleasantly firmer (compact). Specialist retailers describe the construction as a polyurethane foam core over a sinuous spring base. At 43 cm, the seat height is within the usual range. The corner sofa needs around 2.6 m along one wall and 1.85 m along the other. According to the dimension sheet, the depth grows to up to 210 cm depending on the position, for example when used as a bed.

Functions and additions

This is how the Fourtwo becomes a bed: turn the swivel sofa through 90 degrees until it stands parallel to the longchair. Together, they form a sleeping surface of 150 × 210 cm. Everything is done by hand, without a motor. Brühl offers headrests and two table modules as options. A table under the swivel sofa is revealed as soon as the sofa stands parallel to the longchair.

Caring for the fabric cover

Because the Fourtwo's covers are removable, Brühl says that even families with small children can choose light fabrics. The cover is released at the hook-and-loop strips along the bottom edge. Washable fabrics can take a gentle cycle at up to 30 °C, and the rest are dry-cleaned. For everyday care, vacuuming with the upholstery nozzle is enough, and stains can be dabbed off with a damp cloth.

Why buy a pre-owned Brühl Fourtwo?

Brühl has been making seating in its workshop in Bad Steben since 1948, with much of the work done by hand. The company has more than 30 years of experience with fittings for convertible models such as the Fourtwo. If a fitting wears, it can be replaced, and the covers are removable and replaceable. This keeps a pre-owned Fourtwo usable for a long time. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
