BH | Studio Gramercy Curved Armless Loveseat

Gramercy is named for Gramercy Park, the private square laid out in Manhattan in the 1830s and long one of New York's most settled residential enclaves. These sofas look back to the city's early and mid 20th century interiors, when curves softened everything from apartment lobbies to living rooms, and a sofa could be built up in sections to follow the bend of a room.

Open-ended and gently curved, this armless piece seats two and forms the centre of a larger arc, with clips under the frame to join the sections either side. Its back runs straight up from the seat across the full width. Each seat is sprung with separately wrapped pocket springs under layers of foam, on a hardwood frame and a curved solid hardwood base, and it is rated to hold 880 lbs. The cover is slub weave, a cloth whose irregular yarn gives it a soft, woven texture, and it arrives fully assembled.

Mink, Moss and Oyster are all easy to live with in a busy room. Use it as a long seat under a window on a stair landing or in a reading nook, with a tweed cushion and a stack of paperbacks, or clip it into a curved sofa from the same family when you need more seats. This listing is for one armless section.
