BH | Studio Gramercy Curved 3-Piece Velvet Sectional

New York glamour in the early and mid 20th century was written in curves: rounded lobbies, streamlined bars and Art Deco salons where long, bowed velvet sofas drew a room together. Gramercy, named for the private park laid out in Manhattan in the 1830s, brings that city polish to a crescent that seats a crowd.

Two rounded ends and an armless centre make up the set, joined by clips under the frames into one continuous crescent with seats for six. From end to end it runs 205 inches, room to lie flat and still leave a corner free. Pocket springs, each wrapped on its own, sit below layers of foam in every seat, soft on top with real support beneath. The frames are layered hardwood, the base is a curve of solid hardwood, and each section is rated to hold 880 lbs. The cover is a performance velvet, cut-pile cloth with a soft sheen, made for daily life. It arrives fully assembled.

In Cream or Fawn, the velvet glows under evening lamps. Give it a formal drawing room with tall windows, a marble-topped coffee table at the heart of the curve, a bowl of white tulips and brass lamps at either end. It is the right sofa for a cocktail party, where the curve turns every guest toward the room. This listing is for all three sections.
