Brühl Moule Corner sofa, Fabric 2813, washable Grey

Brühl Moule – a design by Roland Meyer-Brühl

The Moule is a design by Roland Meyer-Brühl, and Brühl presents it in its brochure as “the original since 2003”. The design combines a sofa, a lounger and a bed in one piece of furniture. At the heart of the idea are the swivel seats: they turn by 90 degrees, bringing the armrest to the front, where it becomes a footrest. You then lower the backrest to any angle, right down to horizontal if you wish. Brühl uses specially developed fittings for these movements. A characteristic feature is the bend in the backrest. On the corner configurations made up of a longchair and an add-on sofa, the swivel seat is at the outer end of the add-on sofa.

Moule corner sofa in grey fabric – floor model

This Moule is a corner sofa with four seats, upholstered in grey fabric 2813, which can be washed according to the product information. Seen from the front, the corner is on the right. The sofa was on display and has never been used in a home. Its length makes room for the whole family or a group of guests. It suits large living rooms where several people often sit together.

Seating comfort and space

You sit on foam padding over sinuous springs, topped with a soft layer of fleece. The seat is a good half metre deep, and the seat height of 42 cm is within the usual range. At around 3.5 m long and 1.96 m on the corner side, this corner sofa is intended for large rooms. Leave a walkway of 60 to 80 cm in front of the sofa. According to Brühl, the Moule's lowered backrests extend up to 44 cm to the rear.

Elements and additions

The Moule series includes sofas with two or three seats, armchairs, footstools, longchairs and corner configurations. According to Brühl, the sizes can be combined with each other. On the corner sofas, there is a swivel seat at the outer end of the add-on sofa, and all backrests can be adjusted individually. A footstool at the middle seat creates another place to lounge; Brühl sells it through specialist retailers.

Caring for the fabric cover

According to the product information, the cover of this piece is washable. Brühl recommends a gentle cycle at up to 30 °C and no tumble dryer. For everyday care, vacuuming with the upholstery nozzle is enough; dab stains with a damp cloth, without rubbing. A washable cover is practical when the sofa sees a lot of use in everyday family life.

Why a Brühl Moule floor model?

Brühl has been making its furniture in Germany since 1948, at its headquarters in Bad Steben in Upper Franconia. A floor model comes from a display, not from someone's home. On top of that, Brühl can renew the Moule's covers and mechanism fittings later on, and replacement covers are available from specialist retailers. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
