Seating Sofas

Sheep leather, deep buttons and rolled arms. Sofas here range from leather Chesterfields to contemporary designs in velvet, leather and carved hardwood, with vintage pieces from the Netherlands. The Chesterfield, with its rolled arms and deep tufting, has been a library and club standard since the 19th century, and examples here come in a four-seat model and Dutch vintage forms. A French two-seat sofa is finished in cow leather with brass nail heads.

Contemporary sofas include the Kebe, Khartoum and Meiji in leather, huali and huanghuali, the Alhambra in huanghuali, and the Jaipur in ochre velvet. Sofas are built in carved hardwood, and a three-seat sofa is made to measure. A Chesterfield anchors a library or a long living room wall, and a small leather sofa fits a study with room left for a lamp. Every sofa eventually becomes the place where the afternoon goes.
