Blu Dot Thataway Angled Sectional Sofa
Merging curves, comfort and an unexpected angle, Thataway is hanging at the intersection of the nearly unassuming and "Whoa, what's that?" Normal and unusual all at once, Thataway's tight seat and back provide an agreeable sit, while the sweeping arms deliver the pretty.
Design Within Reach Raleigh Sectional Sofa
Raleigh (2009) is a comfortable collection that draws from midcentury Danish design. The Raleigh Sectional features an exposed solid wood frame that wraps around the back to support the seating area while lending visual lightness and satisfying tension to the whole. Unlike other exposed-frame collections that force overly upright sitting positions, Raleigh is designed with a carefully canted seatback for a more natural way of situating yourself as you relax and unwind. Made in U.S.A.
Kardiel Metro 100" Fabric Sofa Sectional Right
Designed just for us, and we are happy. This charming chaise lounge sofa elevates living spaces, and it does it with ease. It is great looking because it is a bit Mid-Century Modern. And check out those curves. Yep, Metro has Scandinavian design genes. Very handsome, and it wants to be your new fave crashing spot.
West Elm Haven 2-Piece Terminal Chaise Sectional
Haven is one of our cushiest seating collections, offering sink-right-in comfort. Terminal chaises are larger than standard chaises and have extra side pillows, meaning more space to spread out.
Muuto Outline Sectional
The Outline Collection (2016) takes its cues from modern architecture with an elegantly cubic form supported by slim pillars. Visually light with narrow, rounded, and perfectly cushioned arms and backs to maximize the seating area, Outline is exquisitely crafted for comfort. Made in the Slovak Republic.
Case Kelston Sectional
The inviting, smart-looking Kelston Collection (2016) features large seating areas, wide arms, and feather-blend cushions. Articulating headrests on the sectional and sofa let you adjust individual headrests to just the right angle and height for reading or watching TV – or fold them out of the way when not in use. Everything you need for rest and relaxation. Made in Italy.
Design Within Reach Como Sectional Sofa
To create his Como Collection (2007), Italian designer Giorgio Soressi enlisted one of the most widely respected companies in Italy. Located near Lake Como, this family-run business is still producing best-in-class sofas and chairs for many prestigious retailers to this day, blending design, research, cutting-edge technologies and artisanal techniques. The elegant and extremely well-constructed Como Collection is built with solid steel frames and cast-aluminum legs. Contrasting that heft and stability are cushions that scream, "You’ve got to sit here!" with their goose feather filling and variable-density foam that’s firmer in front for support. Made in Italy.
HAY Mags Soft Low Sectional
Delivering maximum comfort with minimum details, the Mags Soft Low Collection (2007) by HAY began with the idea that a sofa must have a simple look because it’s so dominant in a room. With that in mind, it was designed as a low, deep, welcoming space in which to stretch out and lounge. This collection features solid construction and plush foam cushions to ensure lasting comfort, with rounded edges to keep the aesthetic casual. Made in China.
Blu Dot Cleon Sectional Sofa
Cleon Sectional Sofa is designed to let you configure and reconfigure your own perfect seating solution. The sectional includes three modular pieces that can be connected to create multiple size and shape possibilities. You can stick with your ideal seating configuration, but you can switch it up on a whim at any time. Cleon Sectional Sofa will have you sitting in comfort with down-filled cushions that feature contrast stitching and gentle pleating at the seams. Offered in select fabric color options.
Design Within Reach Emmy Sectional
Based in Brooklyn, Egg Collective was founded in 2011 by designers Stephanie Beamer, Crystal Ellis and Hillary Petrie. The trio adeptly meld their individual areas of expertise, including art, architecture, and woodworking, into sculptural, heirloom-quality modern furniture that evokes their own histories and memories. Beamer’s cousin Mary Elizabeth—named after her grandmother and fondly known as Emmy—inspired the Emmy Sectional (2019). Reflecting its namesake’s brightness and strength of character, the sofa is tailored but relaxed, with a curved frame that creates cozy corners in which to curl up. Baffled back cushions with a feather-silk fill add just the right amount of support. "The Emmy speaks to multiple generations," says Beamer. "Youthful yet mature, it resonates with a sense of modernism and tradition. It’s a place to feel at home." Made in Canada.
L.K. Hjelle Møbelfabrikk Arena Sectional
The Arena Sectional is a timeless sofa that offers a sleek design with a comfortable seat. Designed by Dag Hjelle in 2009, it’s become an instant classic. Hjelle grew up in the furniture business. His grandfather founded the company he now runs, located in Sykkylven, a beautiful and remote area in Norway with a long history in furniture making. "Being part of this family business has taught me a lot about craftsmanship, materials, and techniques," he says. Made in Norway.
Herman Miller ColourForm Sectional
At work and at home, we need communal spaces where we can connect with one another when it suits us and work around one another when it doesn’t. ColourForm modules offer different back heights to help create a varied landscape. Use high-back standalone components to punctuate settings with moments of privacy and low-back components to create configurations that encourage collaboration. Combine them to carve interesting topographies or to guide guests gracefully through a space. Made in U.S.A.
Burrow Slope Nomad Leather 5-Seat Corner Sectional
Check out this regal starting point for our uncannily simple modular sectional. Wrapped in the same top-grain Italian leather as the rest of our Nomad Leather collection, it’s a truly an enigma of luxury and convenience in one package. Or rather, a few packages, because if we put it in one package like other furniture makers, it wouldn’t actually be convenient at all.

Blu Dot Sunday L Sectional Sofa
