How Much is a Modular Couch Sofa?
Finding the Right Seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
- What is a modular couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A modular couch differs from traditional couches in that they comprise a series of various moveable sections called modules. They generally include a wide range of options such as moveable arm pieces or chaises longues. These couches offer great flexibility as you can set each module according to your needs. Find a collection of antique and vintage modular couches on 1stDibs today.
- What is a modular sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A modular sofa is an upholstered seating solution meant to accommodate two or more people. Unlike standard sofas, modular designs feature multiple individual pieces that you can mix, match and arrange into different shapes and configurations. You will sometimes see them called sectional sofas. Find a range of modular sofas on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between modular and standard sofas lies in their design. A standard sofa consists of a single piece, though it may have detachable cushions. A modular sofa is made up of separate components, such as a loveseat and a chaise on armless and single-arm chairs. As a result, a modular sofa offers the ability to create different configurations compared to a standard sofa. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of sofas.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between a couch, a sofa and a lounge is often design. Technically, couch, sofa and lounge are synonyms and can generally be used to describe an upholstered seating solution designed to seat two or more people. However, some people do differentiate between the words. Among those who do, a couch is normally simpler and less formal than a sofa. A lounge can be a longer sofa designed to provide more space for laying down, or a chaise longue, a one-person sofa with a backrest on one end that enables users to sit with their feet elevated. Find a large collection of sofas, couches and lounges on 1stDibs.
- Who says sofa vs. couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Who says sofa vs. couch comes down to geography and profession. In the United States, many people commonly use the word couch, though some also say sofa. American interior designers and those working in the U.S. furniture industry tend to use the word sofa, which is the preferred term in the UK and Canada. Couch is also the more common name in Ireland, South Africa and Australia. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of sofas.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Today, the words couch and sofa are used interchangeably. In reality, however, a sofa and a couch are different types of furniture. A sofa is defined as an upholstered bench with cushions, two arms, and ample seating space, whereas couches are quite small, armless, and are used to lie down.
