Know before you buy
The sofa is available in a curated selection of high-quality materials including polyester, wool, nylon, viscose, and leather. You can choose from various textile collections such as Gabriel Tempt, Remix 3, Canvas 2, and Hallingdal 65 to suit your interior aesthetic.
The Modern Line Sofa features a seat height of 16.1 inches. This is slightly lower than the industry standard, contributing to its sleek, low-profile silhouette and mid-century aesthetic.
Yes, the legs are available in two distinct finishes: Black Matte for a subtle, monochromatic look or Shiny Brass for a touch of mid-century glamour. Both options are crafted from durable steel to ensure structural integrity.
With a width of 71.7 inches and a depth of 32.7 inches, this sofa is designed with a compact, geometric footprint. Its minimalist lines and elevated legs help maintain a sense of openness, making it an excellent choice for smaller apartments or refined seating areas.
The sofa is manufactured in Lithuania and typically arrives with the legs detached to ensure safe transport. Minimal assembly is required to attach the legs to the frame.
For the upholstery, we recommend regular vacuuming and professional cleaning based on the specific textile chosen. The steel legs can be maintained by wiping them down with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the finish of either the Black Matte or Shiny Brass.
