Brühl Fourtwo Corner sofa, Leather White

Brühl Fourtwo – corner sofa and double bed

Roland Meyer-Brühl designed the Fourtwo as a two-part system: a longchair and a swivel sofa. Brühl itself spells the name four-two. Together, the two parts form a compact corner sofa, a lounge landscape or a double bed. The swivel sofa can stand to the right or left of the longchair. Beneath its lift-up armrest there is a table surface. The longchair's side arm can be pulled forward to become an extra backrest.

Fourtwo corner sofa in white leather – floor model

This Fourtwo is a corner sofa with a white leather cover. The longchair forms the corner on the left, seen from the front, and the swivel sofa joins it on the right. This piece was on display in a showroom and has never been used in a home. White leather looks bright and crisp and goes well with light floors and wood. The corner sofa seats three and suits living rooms or a spacious study that doubles as a guest room.

Seating comfort and space

According to specialist retailers, you sit on a polyurethane foam core over a sinuous spring base. The seat depth is just over 50 cm, so you sit fairly upright. At 44 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 leather cover

Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth and dab stains with a damp cloth straight away, without rubbing. Dye from new, dark jeans can transfer to white leather. Once or twice a year, treat the leather with a suitable care product. Keep it away from direct sunlight and radiators. According to Brühl, the Fourtwo's leather covers are removable and replaceable.

Why a Brühl Fourtwo floor model?

This Fourtwo was used only for display in a showroom. It comes from the workshop in Bad Steben where Brühl has been making seating since 1948. There, every conversion function is checked at final inspection. The covers are removable and replaceable, and Brühl replaces mechanical fittings when needed. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
