Urban Sofa RHC - Olive

The Urban Sofa RHC in Olive is a 338cm curved sofa with the chaise end on the right as you face it, in Copeland Olive, a grey-toned green. The seat height is 40cm and the overall depth is 105cm, on a frame Kolbi rates for commercial use. It ships as two sections in separate cartons and is assembled in the room.

Two things make a sofa this size work in a real house: where the open end points, and whether the colour lets it recede. This combination answers both. The right-hand chaise suits a room entered from the left, and the muted green sits back far enough that 3.38 metres of upholstery does not announce itself the moment you walk in.

Green upholstery has a reputation for dating, and it is largely earned by saturated versions of it. The grey through this one is doing the work of keeping it current, in the same way that a sage wall reads as a neutral where a true green never would. Paired with timber and cream it is quiet; paired with black metal and white it sharpens up considerably.
