Calmo - Fredericia Furniture

Calmo – Construction and Comfort

The Calmo series includes sofas and armchairs in various sizes and configurations, suitable for both smaller living rooms and larger environments. The generous proportions, soft cushions, and elaborate upholstery contribute to high seating comfort, whether the sofa is used for relaxation, work, or social gatherings. The low armrests and well-balanced seat height give the series an open and relaxed expression, while the construction offers clear support.

The construction is based on a wooden frame combined with no-sag springs and multiple layers of foam, creating a stable and durable structure. The cushions contain down and feathers, contributing to a softer feel while the sofa maintains its structure and shape over time. The combination of materials and construction makes the series suitable for daily use over a long period.

Materials and Finishes

Calmo is offered in several textiles and leather qualities, where the choice of material affects expression, comfort, and maintenance. Tightly woven textiles provide a more structured surface with high durability, while coarser weaves add clearer texture and a softer visual expression. The series is also available in leather, where different surface treatments affect the feel, patina, and how the material changes with use.

Bases are offered in lacquered oak, smoked oak, or metal depending on the model and configuration, allowing the sofa's expression to be adapted to different types of environments and interiors. The color palette primarily consists of muted tones that enhance the series' calm and cohesive character.
