Brühl Moule Large Two-seater, Leather Blue

Brühl Moule Large – plenty of room to sit and lie down

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. According to Brühl, the Moule Large looks light and appears to float, despite its size.

Moule Large two-seater in blue leather – floor model

This two-seater is a Moule Large with a cover of blue leather. It was on display and has never been used in a home. With the sleep function, the two swivel seats become a lying surface which, according to Brühl, is particularly generous on the Large. Blue leather is a bold choice of colour that combines well with grey, white and light wood. The sofa suits living rooms with enough space around the seating area.

Seating comfort and space

Beneath the seat are sinuous springs, topped by polyurethane foam padding with a soft fleece layer. According to specialist retailers, the back cushions are quilted into chambers, so they keep their shape. The seat height of 42 cm is within the usual range. The sofa needs two metres along the wall and 90 cm in depth. In the lounge or lying position, the backrests extend up to 44 cm to the rear, according to Brühl. The swivel seats also need a little room at the sides.

Functions and additions

This is how the sofa becomes a bed: swivel both seats 90 degrees forwards and lower the armrests to form footrests. Then, according to specialist retailers, release the backrests using a loop or a button and lower them smoothly all the way to horizontal. Everything works by hand, without a motor. Brühl offers the Moule Large with optional side shelf surfaces that become usable in the lounge position.

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. Leather cannot be washed, but Brühl can replace the removable cover later on.

Why a Brühl Moule Large floor model?

Behind the Moule Large is Brühl, founded in 1948 and still a family-owned company manufacturing in Germany today. Brühl designs its seating for decades of use. As a floor model, this sofa has only ever been on display. Removable covers and replaceable fittings keep it usable in the long term too. This piece, too, has been inspected in eight stations.
