BH | Studio Gramercy Curved 3-Piece Sectional

Gramercy Park, the private square laid out in Manhattan in the 1830s, has long been one of New York's most polished addresses. Art Deco interiors in the city favoured sweeping curves, and by the 1950s the crescent sofa was a fixture of the stylish city living room, shaped so a whole party could face one another.

Three sections make the whole: a curved end at either side and an armless piece between them, held by clips underneath so the arc stays true, with seats for six. Measuring 205 inches overall, it lets two people lie full length at once. Each seat rests on pocket springs, wrapped one by one so a neighbour's movement barely carries, under layers of foam. Layered hardwood frames carry every section, a curved solid hardwood base traces the line at the floor, and each piece is rated to hold 880 lbs. The slub weave cover, cloth woven from yarn with natural thick and thin places, gives it texture. It arrives fully assembled.

It is the sofa for a big family room where everyone wants a seat at once: film nights, the big game, cousins at the holidays. Turn it to face the fire with a round coffee table at the centre of the curve, a wool rug underfoot, cognac leather and a pair of brass lamps. This listing is for all three sections.
