Brühl Moule Corner sofa, Thick leather Black

Brühl Moule – sitting, relaxing and sleeping

Roland Meyer-Brühl designed the Moule as a sofa that transforms in a few simple moves; Brühl has been making it since 2003. At the heart of the design is the swivel seat: turn it by 90 degrees and the armrest comes to the front to become a footrest. You then lower the backrest to any angle, right down to horizontal if you wish, and adjust the headrest separately. Its hallmark is the bend in the backrest, which, according to Brühl, points to this adjustability. For the corner version, Brühl combines a longchair with an add-on sofa, with the longchair on the right or left as preferred.

Moule corner sofa in black thick leather

This Moule corner sofa has a cover of black thick leather. Seen from the front, the corner is on the left, and there is room for three people. The sleep function lets you set the sofa up for overnight guests: with all the backrests lowered, it forms a flat lying surface. The robust leather adds a calm, dark accent to the room. The sofa suits larger living rooms where the corner becomes a shared seating area. It is one of a kind.

Seating comfort and space

The seat is made of foam padding on a sinuous spring base, topped with a soft layer of fleece. According to specialist retailers, the back cushions are quilted into chambers, so they keep their shape. With a seat height of 42 cm and a seat depth of a good half metre, you sit upright, while the longchair is there for stretching out. The corner sofa needs around 2.7 m along the wall and 1.96 m on the corner side. To lower the backrests, allow up to 44 cm of space behind them, according to Brühl.

Functions and additions

For sleeping, lower all the backrests until the corner sofa forms a flat lying surface, according to Brühl. For relaxing, the swivel seat at the outer end of the add-on sofa is all you need: swivel the seat 90 degrees, lower the armrest into a footrest and recline the backrest. The longchair's sliding side armrest serves as an extra backrest. A matching Moule armchair with its own swivel seat is sold through Brühl specialist retailers.

Caring for the leather cover

Leather is best cared for dry: remove dust with a soft cloth and blot spills immediately with an absorbent cloth. Once or twice a year, treat the thick leather with a care product suited to the type of leather. Direct sunlight and nearby radiators dry it out. Leather cannot be washed, but Brühl can replace the removable cover later on.

Why buy a pre-owned Brühl Moule?

Brühl was founded in Bad Steben in 1948 and is still family-owned today; its furniture is made in Germany. The company designs its seating for decades of use. For the Moule, this means that replacement covers and spare parts such as castors or glides are available from specialist retailers, and Brühl can replace the padding and mechanism fittings. This makes a pre-owned Moule a purchase for many years as well. We have inspected this piece in eight stations.
