&Tradition, one of Denmark's coolest furniture brands, has introduced a new classic sofa. Originally designed for Søllerød City Hall in 1939, modernist master Arne Jacobsen's brilliant Mayor Sofa is everything awesome about modernism. Look closely and you'll find that a) mid-century offices were about cleanliness (why else would be sofa be raised? For easy vacuum access, of course), and b) weren't afraid of color. Bold upholstery makes the crisp lines of the Mayor pop. As such, the combination of color and line makes your home pop.
