CHARLOTTE SOFA

Charlotte is the compact one. At 93 cm it is among the shallowest sofas we make, with a slim back carried to 80 cm high and arms that curve outward in a shallow sweep. The proportions are mid-century rather than classical, and they are what let it work in a room where a deep sofa would close off the floor.

Built for a smaller room

Seven centimetres less depth than the 100 cm that is usual across the range is the difference between walking comfortably past a sofa and turning sideways to do it. Charlotte gives that space back. The taller back compensates — at 80 cm it supports the shoulders properly, so the shallower seat does not feel like a compromise when you sit in it.

The arms and the back

The arms are curved and slim, with no upholstered bulk, so the sofa shows its shape from every angle. The back is kept deliberately slim: a thick back at this depth would push the sitter forward. On most versions it is channel-stitched in vertical panels; one version is button-tufted instead. It is a piece that depends on precise shaping rather than volume, which is why the upholstery is done by hand over a kiln-dried beech frame.

Colourways, including a tufted version

Charlotte is shown with a channel-stitched back in grey, cognac, burgundy and dark brown leather, and with a button-tufted back in dark grey — the only version of this model with buttons. Beyond those, any of seventy-six leather shades across twelve colour groups, or fabric. Stitching and cushion detail chosen at the time of order.

Sizes

Three standard widths, listed above, all adjustable. The single seat at 100 cm is a true armchair rather than a love seat.

Where it belongs

An apartment, a boutique hotel room, a waiting area, a narrow sitting room. It also works as the second sofa in a larger scheme, where the main piece is deep and something lighter is needed opposite it.
