Know before you buy
The sofa measures 71.6 inches wide by 32.6 inches deep, with a total height of 27.5 inches. Its compact profile makes it well-suited for smaller living areas or as a secondary seating piece in larger rooms.
The cushions are filled with poly foam, which provides a supportive, structured sit rather than a deep, sink-in feel. This aligns with the sofa's minimalist design, ensuring the cushions maintain their clean, geometric shape over time.
The collection offers a range of textures, from the natural, breathable feel of cotton and linen blends like Dedar Adamo & Eva to the durability of Gabriel Tempt polyester. For a more luxurious or high-traffic option, the Sierra Ca-Mo grain leather provides a classic, aging-friendly alternative to the textile choices.
Yes, the Modern Line Sofa was designed by Greta M. Grossman in 1949 specifically to embody minimalist principles. Its simple geometry, metal legs, and streamlined silhouette make it a versatile anchor for contemporary spaces.
With a seat height of 16.1 inches, this sofa sits slightly lower than the average sofa, which typically ranges between 17 and 19 inches. This lower profile is characteristic of mid-century modern design and contributes to its sleek, low-slung aesthetic.
The sofa features a durable wood frame construction paired with metal legs. To keep it in top condition, simply wipe the metal legs with a soft, dry cloth and ensure the wood frame is kept away from direct heat sources to prevent potential warping.
