Urban Sofa RHC - Dusk

The Urban Sofa RHC in Dusk places the open chaise on the right as you face the sofa, in Copeland Dusk, a muted pink with a strong grey base. It is 338cm across and 105cm deep, with a 40cm seat height, and comes as two sections joined on delivery. Kolbi designs in Australia and manufactures in China.

Getting the hand right matters more than the colour does. A chaise on the wrong side turns a generous sofa into an obstruction, blocking the natural line into a room in a way that no amount of restyling recovers. Stand where you normally walk in and picture the long open end running away from you rather than across your path.

Dusk is the colourway that changes most with the light in the room. North-facing rooms pull the grey forward and it behaves almost like a warm stone; a lamp-lit room at night brings the pink up noticeably. If a decision hinges on the exact tone, see it in the space rather than on a screen, because this one genuinely does not photograph as it looks.
