Details
Not a sofa against a wall but an island in the middle of a room. Every part of it is a thick slab of ribbed corduroy stacked on another, and at 172 cm from front to back it is as deep as a bed is long — two people can lie on it head to head without touching.
The backs are loose cushions rather than built-in, so you decide where the back is. Push them all to one side and it is a daybed. Split them and it faces two ways at once.
The cord is wide and deep, the kind you can put a finger into, and it runs horizontally round every block so the whole piece reads as stacked layers.
80 cm high. In four sizes, from 125 cm to 300 cm across.

Delivery & returns
Sofas are made to order and take 6 to 8 weeks. It ships vacuum-compressed in separate modules and needs no assembly, which is the only reason a piece this size is deliverable at all. Carton sizes and weights — [TO CONFIRM]. This is the largest thing we sell: 172 cm deep, and up to 300 cm across. Measure the room before anything else, and tell us the door and stairwell too. Delivered to your door anywhere in Switzerland, free at this price.

- Assembly
- None. The maker lists it as requiring no assembly; it arrives vacuum-compressed and takes its shape once unpacked.
Care
Vacuum on a low setting with an upholstery head, running it along the ribs and never across them. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in. Do not rub. A cord this wide traps crumbs and dust in the channels. Go along them with a soft brush every few weeks. Move the back cushions around and turn them end to end so they wear evenly. Keep it out of direct sun.
Warranty
Two years, in line with Swiss statutory warranty. Covered: faults in the inner frame and the upholstery seams. Not covered: normal wear, the foam softening with use, flattened pile where the sofa is sat on most, and fading in direct sunlight. Write to us through the contact form with your order number and a photo, and we will sort it out.

How do I clean it?
Vacuum on a low setting with an upholstery head, running it along the ribs and never across them. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in. Do not rub. A cord this wide traps crumbs and dust in the channels. Go along them with a soft brush every few weeks. Move the back cushions around and turn them end to end so they wear evenly. Keep it out of direct sun.
Can I order fabric samples?
Fabric samples will be available shortly. Contact client services in the meantime.
Placing it
Leave it room to be a shape.
A rounded sofa loses what makes it good when it is pushed flat against a wall. Ten centimetres of air behind it is enough for the curve of the back to read, and it is the difference between a piece of furniture and a fitting.
Leave 80 to 90 cm of clear floor in front for people to pass, and set the coffee table about 40 cm off the seat so you can reach it without standing up.
The back is upholstered like the front, so it can stand in the middle of a room with nothing behind it.

The shop is new, so there is nothing to quote and we will not invent anything. These four are checkable, and they are the ones that carry the risk of buying a sofa you have not sat on.
