BH | Studio Ojai Down-Filled 7-Piece Bouclé Sectional

Seating you sink into rather than perch on has deep roots in the American home. Mid-century houses lowered conversation pits into the living-room floor, and by the late 1960s and 1970s designers were dividing the sofa into separate modules that could be rearranged at will. This set carries that idea into a long, relaxed L.

Each module rests on a solid wood frame with small feet, and each seat cushion pairs a foam core with down, feather and cotton for a deep, forgiving sit. The back cushions are loose and well filled, and broad, squared arms close each end. The ottoman stands at seat height, so drawn up to any seat it extends it for lying at full length. The upholstery is bouclé, a looped yarn with a soft, nubbly surface that adds warmth to the clean outline.

Set it in an open-plan living room or den facing the television or the garden, with a long table within reach for books and drinks. The corner goes to whoever claims the best view, and the ottoman moves to wherever the nap is happening. This set includes one corner chair, three armless chairs, one left-arm chair, one right-arm chair and one ottoman.
