BH | Studio Berlin Left-Arm Sectional Sofa Chair

Modular seating, the idea Italian and Swiss designers made their own around 1970, depends on its end pieces. Its block-built logic, furniture assembled from plain, repeatable parts, owes a good deal to the German modernists, whose Bauhaus school spent its last months in Berlin. An arm chair closes off a run of seats and gives the whole arrangement its finished edge, however long that run turns out to be.

This one is a low, deep seat with a single broad track arm, flat-topped and running straight from front to back, on its left-hand side as you face it. Pocket springs and dense foam beneath the cushion give a supportive, even sit, and French piping, a slim corded seam, sharpens every edge. The cover is a hard-wearing woven polyester over a plywood and wood frame, set on non-marking foot caps and fitted with connectors.

It belongs to the Berlin modular collection and pairs with the collection's armless chairs, corner chairs and ottomans. Use it to finish the left-hand end of an existing sofa or corner group in a sitting room or den, where the arm will take a cushion, a folded throw or the evening paper. This listing is for one left-arm chair.
