The Delphi Collection - A Study in Swiss Precision and Danish Craft
The Delphi Sofa Collection is a series of sofas and singular modules made by Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein in 2007. Elegantly revealing Wettstein’s industrial and methodical design approach, the Delphi Sofa is recognised today as a contemporary classic.
Sculpted for Comfort, Built with Intention
With its characteristically uninterrupted design, the Delphi Sofa rejects unnecessary ornamentation, combining functional clarity with effortless comfort that encourages informal relaxation. In addition to its low profile and wide, generous seats, the armrests are aligned with the backrest for a balanced, sophisticated look.
An ingenious, sculptural niche separates the backrest from the seat cushions, which undulate in a series of subtle waves designed to gently cradle the sitter.
Wettstein’s design merges architectural thinking with simple shapes, precise craftsmanship, and functional clarity. Distinctly Swiss, it has an organic, approachable presence and expands modularly with Delphi Elements, alongside a selection of pre-configured sofas designed for flexible, modern living.
Designed with care – handmade in Denmark
Carefully hand-upholstered, the Delphi Sofa embodies the craftsmanship required to bring Hannes Wettstein’s sculptural design to life. Clean lines and precise curves shape its distinctive backrest, a form achievable only through expert upholstery.
The Delphi sofa is created to meet the highest standards of comfort and aesthetics, handcrafted in our workshop in Svendborg, Denmark, by experts who share a passion for excellence.
Every Delphi sofa is shaped with care and precision by skilled artisans at every stage of its creation. Made from carefully selected materials, it brings the designer’s vision to life with durability and elegance. Through close collaboration between experienced upholsterers and carpenters, this unique piece has been thoughtfully realised - a balance of lasting comfort and refined design, made to be cherished for generations.
Modular Versatility
Designed for longevity, the Delphi’s distinct, modular design and reputation for exceptional comfort make it a contemporary classic, showcasing Wettstein’s singular vision for pure forms and Fredericia’s strong heritage of craftsmanship. The configurable Delphi Elements offer a high level of personalisation, making it a preferred choice for both private and public spaces.
