Polo sofa system design by Lars Hofsjö for David Design

Polo represents an elegant, compact sofa solution addressing contemporary interior demands for refined proportions without spatial excess.

The sofa’s defining characteristics—sophisticated seat depth, carefully proportioned backrest, and refined armrest geometry—prioritize how bodies actually rest and recline.

Available in comprehensive fabric and leather selections with metal base options in black or white finish, Polo adapts seamlessly to diverse contexts from private residences to hospitality environments.

The molded wood frame construction with polstered seating reflects commitment to enduring quality rather than trend-driven form.

Designer Lars Hofsjö brings industrial design training combined with furniture design expertise to Polo’s development. His methodology emphasizes functional clarity without ornamental excess—every formal decision derives from how bodies interact with objects and how materials express structural intention. Hofsjö’s design archive includes the Skift chair (2012), recognized as a design classic achieving canonical status through consistent use in significant institutional and residential projects. His approach privileges detail refinement through extensive prototype testing and user feedback rather than predetermined aesthetic concepts.

David Design, the Swedish furniture manufacturer, grounds Hofsjö’s seating development within its production philosophy: “Everything is the same, yet nothing is alike.” The brand refuses to compromise on material quality, construction technique, or design integrity regardless of market pressures toward cost reduction. Polo exemplifies this commitment, ensuring furniture endures decades of use through elegant simplicity rather than stylistic novelty.
