Replaceable Covers
Our sofas are designed for longevity, featuring fully and easily removable covers.
This makes maintenance effortless, allowing you to remove the fabric in moments for simple, stress-free cleaning.
Beyond easy care, removable covers offer the freedom to adapt your living space throughout the year. You can effortlessly swap covers to suit the changing seasons.
By designing our covers to be easily cleaned or replaced, your sofa can adapt to new interiors over time, without ever needing to replace the whole sofa.
Short vs Long
Our sofas come with two seat depths to choose from as standard.
The shorter seat (75 cm)
Holds you more upright. Feet on the floor, back supported. This is the depth for conversation, for a morning coffee, for a room where the sofa has to work as hard as a dining chair. It suits smaller spaces and shorter frames, and it is the easier one to stand up from.
The deeper seat (85 cm)
Is closer to a Western proportion. Legs tucked underneath you, or stretched out with a dog across your knees. It is the depth for long evenings and casual weekends. It asks for more room in the house, but it is a luxurious thing to sit in.
We feel the best way to choose is to think about the last hour you spent on your sofa.
Both depths share the same flowing form, the same frame, the same hand. Nothing about the silhouette changes.
Soft vs Firm
Our sofas come with two seat fillings to choose from as standard.
The difference is not dramatic. Both are comfortable. It is a question of what you tend to be doing.
The firmer seat is a little more supportive. If you work from the sofa, or sit with a laptop on your knees for an hour or two, this is the choice that lessens fatigue setting in.
The softer seat is the more relaxed of the two. It is better for shorter sitting, for the end of the day, for a coffee and a conversation rather than a long stretch of concentration.
We feel the best way to choose is to think about how long you usually stay put.
Both fillings sit within the same frame, under the same covers, made by the same hands.
