There is a version of this silhouette that existed in the 1970s and a version that exists now, and the distance between them is exactly what makes this sofa interesting. The rounded back, the low arm, the three generous seat cushions — it nods to the era without looking like it belongs there. The upholstery is a polyester, wool and linen blend boucle, the kind of fabric that photographs in soft focus and feels even better than it looks. Beneath the seats, sinuous wire spring suspension gives it the kind of sit you plan to stay in. The cushions are filled with high-density foam, fiber and a down and feather blend — the combination that actually holds its shape over a full season of use. Hand-assembled in North Carolina, 103 inches wide, it is a proper three-seat sofa that anchors a room rather than disappearing into it. At $3,299 it is one of the best boucle sofas at this price.
