Modular Sofas & Corner Sofas

In the Nordiska Galleriet collection of corner sofas and modular sofas, the focus lies on refined design, precise proportions and materials chosen for long lasting quality. The range includes sofa systems created for open plan layouts, generous living rooms and interiors where the furniture is intended to take on a clear architectural presence.

Corner sofas and modular sofas in a cohesive interior

A corner sofa defines a room through its angle, creating a natural zone for conversation, reading and rest. In larger interiors, the corner sofa is often used to mark a dedicated seating area in relation to the surrounding furnishings, for example alongside a low coffee table and a rug that frames the overall composition.

Modular sofas offer another kind of precision. With independent elements such as a chaise, a centre module or an end section, the sofa can be adapted to the room’s dimensions and movement patterns. In many of the models within our selection, it is possible to adjust seat depth, armrests and end pieces, allowing the sofa to be fine tuned in relation to the architecture.

Sofas from manufacturers like Arflex and Ligne Roset are often built on modules with clearly defined measurements, making it possible to create both compact configurations and expansive arrangements within the same series.

Our selection of modular sofas

When it comes to modular sofas, we prioritise systems that offer flexibility without compromising on expression or comfort. A model like Togo by Ligne Roset shows how a low and generous volume can function both as a stand alone piece and as part of a larger composition. The continuous cushion sections create a tactile experience while the internal structure remains carefully constructed.

Another approach to modularity can be seen in the NO GA collection, where the Brick sofa is based on distinct building blocks. Each module has its own purpose, from corner sections to free standing centre parts, making it easy to adapt the sofa as the room evolves or when additional seating is needed.

A more softly shaped modular solution is N701 from Ethnicraft, where deep seats and generous proportions are combined with flexible modules that can be expanded or rearranged over time.

Across several of our sofa systems, you can choose between textile or leather in a variety of qualities. Dense wool fabrics, textured blends and aniline leathers each offer different visual and tactile expressions while meeting the same standards of durability and ageing.

Corner sofa with chaise and other configurations

A corner sofa with a chaise combines a defined angle with an extended seating area that allows for relaxed reclining. In many models, the chaise can be placed on either side, making it easier to integrate the sofa with window arrangements, a fireplace or a media wall.

In open plan rooms, end modules without armrests are often used to create a sofa accessible from several directions. Combined with freestanding armchairs and side tables, this allows for a seating arrangement where the sofa can be both the focal point and a part of a larger whole.

Materials, care and long term use

The choice of upholstery influences both the atmosphere of the room and how the sofa ages. A modular sofa with removable covers is practical in homes where the sofa is used daily. Leather from manufacturers such as Zanotta develops a patina that enhances the natural qualities of the material, giving each piece a character shaped by its use.

To maintain the structure of cushions and seats, we recommend regular plumping of loose cushions and occasional rotation of modules when the construction allows. This distributes wear evenly and helps the sofa retain its proportions over time.

Across our collection of corner sofas and modular sofas you will find systems suited to both formal living spaces and more relaxed everyday environments. Each model is characterised by a balanced relationship between comfort, construction and a form that respects and supports the architecture of the space around it.
