Know before you buy

The exposed structure is a testament to traditional Japanese woodworking techniques. By utilizing thin, straight wood pieces with precise joinery, the design achieves a lightweight appearance without compromising the structural integrity or longevity of the frame.
With an overall width of 82.75 inches, it is a standard three-seater sofa. Its minimalist, open-frame design helps it feel less visually heavy than traditional upholstered sofas, making it a great choice for rooms where you want to maintain an airy, uncluttered aesthetic.
The seat height is 16.25 inches, which is a standard height that provides a comfortable, supportive sit. The low-profile armrests at 13.5 inches are designed to complement the sofa's sleek, modern silhouette while allowing for a relaxed lounging position.
The SESTINA Sofa is crafted as a stationary, high-quality piece of furniture. Depending on your delivery service, it typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal leg attachment required, ensuring the structural precision intended by designer Motomi Kawakami remains intact.
