The Story 🗞️

Midcentury Modern Style Sofas

When it comes to sofas, the options are endless, but not every piece fits seamlessly into a mid-century modern interior. While Instagram might have you dreaming of that plush, low-profile sofa everyone’s raving about (yes, we see you, Togo!), today, we're focusing on something a bit more accessible.

Choosing the right sofa is no easy task, especially for mid-century modern enthusiasts who value both style and comfort. A designer piece might be out of reach for most, but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the look. In today’s issue, I’m sharing five sofas that perfectly capture the mid-century modern vibe without breaking the bank.

The Form Sectional by Floyd

The Form Sectional by Floyd offers a perfect blend of durability and design with its modular structure. It captures the essence of mid-century modern simplicity, featuring clean lines, deep, comfy seats, and high-performance fabric that’s built for everyday life.
Starting at $1,484

Layla Sofa by Urban Outfitters

Drawing clear inspiration from the iconic Polar Bear Sofa by Jean Royère (with only about 150 pieces ever made, fetching around $600,000 today), the Layla Sofa is a much more affordable alternative. You can bring this stylish piece home for just $1,700.

Nagoya Sofa by Industry West

This sofa cleverly combines the mid-century era's favorite materials, featuring a polished stainless steel frame and ash wood sideboards in a smoky brown finish. It’s a piece that Florence Knoll herself could have designed.
Priced at $2,895

Teddy Sofa by OMHU

No discussion of sofas is complete without mentioning the late '70s trend of conversation pits. Thanks to OMHU, you can enjoy the luxury of a relaxation pit without digging up your living room floor.
Priced at $2,500

Jonathan Sofa by Castlery

Rounding out this list is the versatile Jonathan Sofa by Castlery. It’s the perfect anchor for any mid-century modern interior and even stars in the home of the popular content creator @im_ericwang.
Priced at $1,800
