Andretti is  a COUCH original and part or our STUNNING new batch of floor models. Shown in a low pile chenille and with wide arms, gleaming chrome legs and low slung lines, he would look at home in any million dollar mansion.  The seat cushions are SUPER thin which contributes to the sleekness.  They’re so thin in fact that you would think this thing would sit horribly.  There’s a way to have thin seat cushions and a comfy seat though.  You put foam above the springs and below the seat cushions.  A little creativity and attention to detail goes a long way.

A traditional and grandly scaled roll arm sofa with a simple three back cushion over three seat cushion configuration.  Notice the character lines in the fabric caused by the luxurious featherblend used.  At 42″ deep it’s a lounger for sure but not so deep that sitting upright is impossible.  Our Watson model can be had anywhere  from 38″ for a relatively upright seat to a 48″ depth where seat depth approaches that of a twin bed and lounging on dvd night is the only thing to do.

I always liked the look of Anthropologie’s Ditte sofa but felt it had fatal flaws.  The thing I couldn’t get over (besides the $3700 price tag)  was that the thing just sat incredibly upright.  To be expected really since the back goes straight up and if you were to add a lean to the inside of the back you’d lose the spare simplicity of the design.  The solution: lumbar cushions.  I also added three inches to the depth for comfort and nailheads for added interest. I’m good.

This just might be the deepest sofa in Seattle.  at 55″ deep it’s deeper than a twin bed.  Shown in a PLUSH downblend and slipcovered in hardwearing (and machine washable) white denim I don’t have words for this sofa.  It sits in my window and it’s fun watching the doubletakes from the passers by.  I LOVE this sofa.  I’ll call her Ethel.  Just kidding, let’s call her Jillian- after one of the prettiest girls in the world.

This sofa makes me happy.  Shown in a purple mohair with a contrasting base in very lightly finished wood this COUCH original blends elements of mid-century as well as traditional design.  It’s shown in a very unique four back pillow over two seat cushion configuration, but also looks fantastmagorical in the more standard two over two.  I dub this the Drake.

Mixing mid-century lines with an Asian inspired base in a glossy espresso wood, Damiano is a COUCH exclusive design.  Shown here in a textured poly weave,  it’s entirely too edgy for my mass market competitors to show, and at $1525, orders of magnitude cheaper than other sofas with this much panache.

 

I can’t take credit for this fabulous design.  With it’s deeply scooped arms and graciously curved back it’s a highly faithful replica of Restoration’s “Delaney”.  They currently have it on “sale” for between $2500 and $3100.  So you see in a fabric you won’t like and with foam cushions they’ll sell you it for $2200.  If you want it in a fabric you’ll like with featherdown seats it’ll run you very close indeed to 3k.  You can buy one with feathers and nice velvet from me for $1580.  Consider “Couch” Restoration Hardware but with a 40% off sale, domestic production instead of Chinese, and a MUCH greater selection of fabrics.  And I won’t nickel and dime you on fabrics.  From my cheapest fabric to my most expensive the difference is about $200.  That’s because I charge you cost for more expensive fabrics, not use it as just another way to reach in your pocket.

It’s good to keep up with the trends.  But it’s also nice to stick to the basics.  A plush down seat, a soft cotton fabric in a quiet hue, a skirt.  This is Kristine from Issaquah’s bedroom reading chair.  Kristine from Issaquah knows how to roll.

 

Claire of first hill wanted something pretty and found high drama in bright apple velvet.  I love delivering sofas that aren’t safe.  Sofas that big box retailers won’t touch because they won’t “retail”- meaning they’re not meant for the masses.  Henry is such a sofa.  Hurrah for Henry.  Isaac Mizrahi said ”life is too short to be tasteful”.  Word.

“Fred” is a Couch original that can’t be had anywhere else.  Starting out with mid century lines, but updated with chrome legs and boldly colored velvet, it’s a $1,375 sofa that looks like it should cost more.  Lot’s more.

Shown with extensive nailhead trim and sporting a rich cream velvet our Jackson model is traditional and striking.  Notice how the accent cushions match the rug but have have piping in the same color as the couch to tie the two together.  With the scores of color choices  and custom flexibility available at COUCH, that level of design becomes possible, and at most of my competitors, even much bigger names, it just isn’t.

If there was one word for our Cassandra model, it would be stately.  It’s substantial, comfortable, and definitely makes a statement.  Best of all, even in the rich velvet you see here, it’s only $1,,770.   That’s a full thousand dollars less than similar models found at Restoration and Mitchell.  Think about adding nailheads for added traditional appeal.

Why does noone make a mid-century sectional?  Crate and Barrel offers a great mid-century style called the Petrie for $1500 (which I replicate) but doesn’t offer a sectional.  Room and Board offers a very well made mid century style called the Andre for $1699 (which I do for $1260) but again no sectional offered.   Let’s do one more.  The Bantam from Design Within Reach will run you $1850 (and $1310 at COUCH) and again no sectional offered.  Now that you guys know the terrain, you’ll appreciate when I say that this rather large sectional shown in a stylish and hardwearing textured poly-blend will run you just $1940 at COUCH.  I’m beating this into the ground but want it to sink in.  Room and Board will charge you $1700 for a sofa.  I charge you $200 more for a big ol’ made to measure sectional in a fabric of your choosing and you give up NOTHING in  build quality.

Chris sent me an updated photo of the sectional after the room was done (or closer to it).  The mid-century lines of the piece work tremendously well with the iconic Noguchi Coffee table and the flokati rug.  The light in the corner is the cherry on top.  Well done Chris.

 

 

The Desmond is a little retro, and a lot sophisticated.  It has square mid-century lines, but sits MUCH more comfortably than your dads Danish masterpiece. 

The Easthaven is a couch with a capital “C”.   Fully slipcovered for easy cleaning and comforting to look at as well as sit in, Easthaven is heavy, substantial, and rather proud of it’s beastly 27 inch seating depth.  Feather blend seats and backs might quickly make this the place you log the most snoozles. Apologies to your bed.  $1660 as shown.  That’s less than half of what Mitchell Gold wants for a similarly constructed animal.

 

Most of my pictures are decent representations of the product– but simply not so in this case.  If you think our Renato sectional looks good in this picture– expect it to look about twice as good in person.   I’ve literally had a couple of people who did the rounds downtown laugh when I tell them this Italian designed sectional in a HIGH end looking heathered microsuede is only $2350.  From the fabric to the hard edges of the construction, this piece is the epitome of modern design.

Almost everyone who comes in seems to say the same thing.  “This one’s so plain- it doesn’t really have any design to it.  Why’s it my favorite?”  Hence, I give you the “je ne sais quoi”.  It’s a condo sized couch (though all of our models can be condo sized)  shown in a highly textured fabric.  The seat is deep and the arms are low enough and padded enough to make them a PURRFECT place to lay your head down for an afternoon nap in the sun.   We’re at $1450 for this jewel.
