About the Item
An iconic C683 sofa designed in 1968 by Kho Liang Ie for Artifort in the Netherlands. This refined piece stands as a clear expression of late-1960s Dutch modernism, where architectural clarity, comfort, and innovation converge.
The C683 is defined by its elegantly inclined backrest and generously upholstered seat, creating a relaxed yet disciplined silhouette. Upholstered in deep black wool, the sofa has a calm, tactile presence that contrasts beautifully with its sculptural stainless steel base. The polished metal legs lift the volume lightly from the floor, lending the design an almost floating quality and emphasizing its architectural character. Subtle horizontal stitching across the backrest adds rhythm and structure, underscoring Kho Liang Ie’s meticulous attention to proportion and detail.
Balancing softness with precision, the C683 sofa exemplifies Artifort’s progressive vision and Kho Liang Ie’s influential role in shaping postwar European furniture design. A timeless and highly collectible piece, equally suited to modern interiors and curated design collections.
About the Designer
Kho Liang Ie was one of the most influential figures in Dutch postwar design. As long-time art director and designer for Artifort, he introduced international modernist principles to Dutch furniture, emphasizing clarity of form, innovative construction, and lasting comfort. His work remains foundational to the identity of Artifort and to the development of modern Dutch design.
