How can your prices be so much lower?

We commission our pieces directly from the same family-run ateliers that produce for the world's most celebrated design houses. By removing the gallery, the showroom, the licensing fee, and the distributor, you pay for the materials and the craftsmanship, and nothing for the name on the tag.

Is the quality really the same?

Yes. We hold the exact specifications: the same Belgian linen, genuine Carrara marble, solid FSC-certified hardwood, and feather-down construction. We never substitute a cheaper material to hit a price.

How does Buy More, Save More work?

The more of your room you furnish with us, the less you pay: orders over $3,500 save 10%, over $5,000 save 15%, and over $10,000 save 20%. The discount covers your entire order and is applied automatically at checkout - no code needed.

How does delivery work?

Every order is delivered white-glove for one flat $199 fee, no matter how many pieces it includes. Our team brings everything into your home, assembles it, and removes all packaging. Every piece is made to order and typically ships in 4–8 weeks.

How will I know where my order is?

You'll never have to wonder. Your confirmation goes straight to the atelier, and from there we update you at every stage: when your piece is finished we send photographs of it from the workshop floor for your approval, we notify you the day it lands in the US, and your local delivery hub calls to schedule your white-glove delivery. If your order is ever running longer than expected, we'll tell you why and keep you posted. Curious between updates? Ask us anytime and a specialist will tell you exactly where your piece stands.

What is the 100-night trial?

Live with your piece for 100 nights. If it isn't right for your space, return it within the trial window for a full refund of the purchase price. We arrange the return shipping to our US warehouse for you, and the cost of that return shipping is the customer's responsibility.

Can I get help choosing materials and finishes?

Absolutely. Book a complimentary design consultation and a specialist will walk you through the materials, finishes, and dimensions - and how the piece will live in your space - before you commit.

What does the warranty cover?

Every piece is covered by a 2-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Reach out and we'll make it right.

Élodie Armless End-Unit Sofa

Name: Élodie Armless End-Unit Sofa
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.6 (15 reviews)

A modern landscape of cushions - without the showroom markup.

4.6 · 15 reviews

$3,295~~$11,800~~Save $8,505 (72%) vs. traditional retail

The Élodie stretches out like a landscape: expansive seat cushions on a discreet dark-stained wood base, with low backs that settle wherever the cushions meet. As a right-facing end unit it finishes a modular arrangement - or stands alone as a generous, arm-free lounge. Feather-filled accent cushions soften its clean architectural line. Grand-format comfort, without the grand-format markup.

Vacuum the upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment and plump the feather cushions weekly. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Dust the stained wood base with a dry microfiber cloth and keep the piece out of prolonged direct sunlight.

Why is it less?

The same piece as the sprawling modular sofa landscapes of Milan-designed Parisian houses - sourced honestly.

The original of this silhouette is sold on request through European showrooms - configurations routinely reach five figures. Ours is built with the same bi-density foam and feather fill by a family workshop, shipped direct, so you pay for the comfort, not the address.

We go to the maker

We commission directly from the atelier behind the sprawling modular sofa landscapes of Milan-designed Parisian houses.

We hold the spec

The same materials and construction. We never substitute a cheaper version.

We remove the markup

No gallery, no showroom rent, no licensing fee - only the cost of materials and craftsmanship.

Attention to detail

What a gallery photograph doesn’t say.

Furniture disappoints in a handful of predictable ways - and every one of them is a shortcut we refuse to take.

Eight checks between the bench and your room

Timber moisture-metered before a single cut

Joints clamped and left to fully cure

Leveled on a flat surface, rocked by hand

Dimensions measured against the spec

Every drawer and hinge cycled by hand

Finish checked in daylight-balanced light

Seams checked for pull, pucker, alignment

Re-inspected at our US hub before delivery

And if we still get it wrong

Every frame and joint is covered by our 2-year limited warranty, you have 100 nights to change your mind, and your piece is assembled in your room by our own delivery team - because the quickest way to make a well-built chair wobble is to bolt it together in the wrong order.

Not sure it’s right for your room? Book a complimentary design consultation - a specialist will talk through materials, finishes and fit before you commit.

Client reviews

From our clients

“Armless design keeps the room feeling open. It seats three friends comfortably, which is a miracle at this footprint.”

Kenji Y.

“Was worried the low back would feel unsupportive. It leans at exactly the right angle and the pillows fill any gap.”

Tessa R.

“Coffee, newspaper, nap. Repeat!”

Hank M.

“Snapped it onto the open end of our sectional and the whole arrangement suddenly makes sense. Matches perfectly!”

Victor M.

“Hosting book club got dangerous, nobody goes home before eleven anymore!”

Paloma D.

“The seat is so wide I can lie fully sideways with room to spare. The low back never blocks the window behind it.”

Colleen B.

“My husband and I both fit. Enough said.”

Amara O.

“fell asleep at 2pm on a Tuesday. no regrets.”

Jesse P.

“We ordered this planning to add more modules later and honestly it may stay solo for good. It reads like a chic little daybed against the wall, the pillows are plump enough to prop up for reading, and every houseguest has claimed it for at least one nap. My sister sat down at Easter and did not move for four hours.”

Dahlia F.

“We have owned five sofas across three apartments and this is the first one I would buy twice. The width of the seats changes how you use it, you tuck your feet up, you sprawl, you share it with the dog without negotiating. White glove crew set it up in fifteen minutes and hauled off all the packaging. Worth every week of the wait.”
