An assortment of vinyl sofas is available at 1stDibs. The range of distinct vinyl sofas — often made from
fabric,
wood and
faux leather — can elevate any home. There are all kinds of vinyl sofas available, from those produced as long ago as the 19th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. Vinyl sofas made by
mid-century modern designers — as well as those associated with
Hollywood Regency — are very popular at 1stDibs. Not every interior allows for large vinyl sofas, so small vinyl sofas measuring 27.5 inches across are available at 1stDibs. Vinyl sofas have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by
Charlotte Chair Company,
Marzio Cecchi and
Verner Panton are consistently popular.
Vintage couches and antique sofas have anchored living rooms for generations. The pieces most sought after today carry the deep-buttoned tufting of a Chesterfield or the low, sculptural ease of mid-century modern and Hollywood Regency design.
Styles to Know
Rolled arms and tufted backs point to Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency pieces, while tight backs and turned legs skew more traditional. Velvet is enjoying a renewed moment across most of these silhouettes; see our velvet chesterfield sofa trend report for examples. A mid-century modern coffee table within reach and a vintage mirror nearby round out the seating area.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Sofa
A sofa's frame and upholstery history can be difficult to judge from photographs alone. Ask a seller for more information when a listing doesn't show the fabric or joinery clearly, and confirm whether the upholstery is original or has been redone. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.
