The living room does the most work in a home — and takes the most wear. These are the pieces we build to handle it gracefully.
A kiln-dried hardwood frame, eight-way hand-tied springs, and high-resilience foam wrapped in feather-down. Available in three- and four-seat lengths.
A low, leaning reading chair with a solid ash frame and a removable, washable seat cushion. Pairs with the Linden or stands alone.
A single slab of white oak on tapered legs. Wide enough for books and a tray, low enough to put your feet up.
Cable-managed, soft-close doors and an open center bay sized for a soundbar. Solid oak top, dovetailed drawers.
Three nesting tables in graduated heights. Use them together or scatter them where a drink needs to land.
A freestanding bookcase with adjustable solid-wood shelves rated for a full load of hardbacks.
Start with the focal point — usually a window, fireplace, or television — and arrange seating to face it without crowding the walkways. Leave at least 75 cm (30 in) for main paths and 30–45 cm (12–18 in) between a sofa and its coffee table so it's reachable but not in the way.
Anchor the arrangement with a rug large enough that at least the front legs of every seat rest on it. This visually ties the seating together and stops the room from feeling like furniture pushed against the walls.
Rule of thumb: a sofa should be about two-thirds the length of the wall it sits against, and a coffee table about two-thirds the length of the sofa.
Mix heights and textures — a low table, a tall bookcase, a soft chair, a hard wood surface — so the eye has somewhere to travel. The goal is a room that invites you to sit down and stay a while.
