BH | Studio Berlin Sectional Sofa Corner Chair

Every corner sofa turns on one piece. The idea that furniture could be built from simple, standard units was taught at the Bauhaus, which spent its final months in Berlin, and in the modular seating that Italian and Swiss designers developed around 1970 the corner block was what let a straight line of seats wrap around a room. It remains the hinge of any L-shaped arrangement.

This one is a low, square seat with a back on two sides, so it can sit at the meeting point of two runs. A deep cushion rests on pocket springs and dense foam for a supportive sit, and French piping, a slim corded seam, outlines every edge. It is covered in a hard-wearing woven polyester over a plywood and wood frame, on non-marking foot caps, with connectors to lock it to neighbouring pieces.

Part of the Berlin modular collection, it works with the collection's armless chairs, arm chairs and ottomans, so it can turn an existing sofa into a corner group in a family room or start a set that grows a piece at a time. It is also the favourite seat for anyone who likes to tuck their feet up. This listing is for one corner chair.
