Brühl Moule Corner sofa, Leather Beige

Brühl Moule – corner sofa with swivel seat and longchair

Brühl has been making the Moule since 2003, to a design by Roland Meyer-Brühl. It is intended as a convertible sofa: in a few simple moves, the swivel seats become loungers or a lying surface. Swivel a seat by 90 degrees and the armrest moves to the front, where it lowers to serve as a footrest. You then adjust the backrest and headrest separately. According to Brühl, the distinctive bend in the backrest points to precisely this adjustability. Everything is operated by hand. Brühl puts its corner configurations together from a longchair and an add-on sofa.

Moule corner sofa in beige leather

This Moule is a corner sofa with a sleep function, upholstered in beige leather. Seen from the front, the corner is on the right. It seats three, and with the backrests lowered, the sofa becomes a lying surface for overnight guests. The light leather combines well with wood, wool and linen. The corner sofa suits living rooms that occasionally double as a guest room. It is one of a kind.

Seating comfort and space

You sit on polyurethane foam over sinuous springs; Brühl relies on high-density foams for a seat that holds its shape. The seat depth of a good half metre allows you to sit upright, and you can put your legs up on the longchair. The seat height of 42 cm is within the usual range. The corner sofa takes up around 2.7 m along the long side and 1.96 m on the corner side. With the backrests lowered, it extends up to 44 cm further back, according to Brühl.

Functions and additions

Here is how to use the functions: swivel the outer seat of the add-on sofa 90 degrees forwards and lower the armrest to form a footrest. Each backrest is adjusted individually, and the longchair's side armrest slides forwards to act as an extra backrest. Lower all the backrests and you get a flat lying surface. According to Brühl, a Moule footstool at the middle seat turns that seat into a lounger as well.

Caring for the leather cover

Remove dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Dab stains with a slightly damp cloth, without rubbing. Once or twice a year, the leather needs a suitable care product to keep it supple. Do not place the sofa in direct sunlight or next to a radiator. With light leather, watch out for new dark jeans, as their dye can rub off.

Why buy a pre-owned Brühl Moule?

Brühl has been making upholstered furniture in Bad Steben since 1948, as a family-owned company manufacturing in Germany. According to Brühl, its seating is designed for decades of use. On the Moule, this shows in the removable covers and replaceable mechanism fittings. With multi-part covers, individual parts can also be replaced, according to Brühl, as long as the leather is still available. We have inspected this piece in eight stations.
