Know before you buy
The sofa is designed for comfort, featuring seat cushions wrapped in Dacron-wrapped foam for support, while the back and side cushions use a blend of 60% down and 40% fiber cluster for a plush, cozy feel.
The leather straps and grey webbing are integral to the sofa's construction, providing structural support for the cushions while adding a distinct, warm industrial aesthetic to the blackened steel frame.
The wool cushions, featuring Faribault Woolen Mill blanket covers, should be cared for like high-quality natural textiles. We recommend regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment and professional cleaning for any significant spills.
The frame is built for durability and arrives as a robust, industrial-grade structure. Depending on your delivery service, it may arrive in sections or fully assembled, so please ensure your entryway and living space can accommodate the 108-inch width.
Its blend of vintage military inspiration and clean, modern lines makes it highly versatile. It pairs exceptionally well with Scandinavian minimalism, industrial lofts, or even more eclectic, texture-focused living rooms.
Yes, the cushions are designed to be removable, which makes it easier to fluff the down-filled back and side cushions to maintain their shape and loft over time.
