With many of us still in hibernation mode, cozying up on the sofa with a blanket and good book is an ideal way to spend an afternoon. For others, a casual gathering around a warm, crackling fire makes for the perfect evening. These four modern sofas offer a beautiful backdrop for whatever indoor winter activity you prefer.

Quantum Sofa by King Living

Australian brand King Living has launched its latest collection of modular sofas and sofa beds that exemplifies the 50-year-old company’s mastery of foam furniture. Called KING FreeForm, the new series includes four distinct designs, each with its own modern sensibility that supports evolving lifestyles with durability and longevity. Arriving compressed in a box, the modern sofas require no tools for assembly, with responsive springs and highly resilient Rebound foam that instantly bounces back into shape. Raised off the floor on a recyclable HDPE base that promotes airflow, the four sofas compensate for uneven surfaces to maintain stability and comfort. 

A standout in the collection, the Quantum sofa is defined by sculpted retro-inspired curves and an ergonomic high-back and zoned cushioning. Sleek yet inviting, Quantum encourages conversation and connection as well as relaxation and downtime. The modular design means it can be easily expanded and reconfigured as needs and living spaces change, with hidden joiners securing each volume to the next; the sofa system includes right- and left-arm modules and two wide armless chairs. Furthering the adaptability, the upholstered covers can be removed and replaced for laundering and updating aesthetics. The three other sofas in the KING FreeForm collection include the minimalist KING Kube sofa, the compact Luma sofa bed and the four-in-one KING sofa bed that effortlessly transforms from a three-seater sofa into a chaise, queen bed or two single beds.

Debut Sofa Collection by San Lò

A new player in the field of residential furnishings, San Lò was founded in Puglia, Italy, by Anna and Lucrezia Loscacco in late 2025. With the young brand, the sisters aim to bring a new artisanal perspective and have debuted with a cohesive sofa collection that embraces both traditional Italian craftsmanship and modern-day style. 

Fusing minimalism with maximalism, the nine new modern sofas were designed by Florence-based studio ferriani.sbolgi and share the same contemporary silhouette and composition — a chunky upholstered volume set upon a wood base with squat columnar feet. In two- and three-seater formats, the modern sofas are given individual personalities (and names) through distinct fabric options and colour strategies chosen in collaboration with Marcante Testa: A variety of bold checks and sophisticated monotone upholsteries can be paired with differently coloured lacquers for the beech wood bases, lending each a compelling and unique characteristic.

Theodore Sofa by CPRN Homood

An elegant nod to the “convivial spirt” of the 1970s — think sunken conversation pits and low-slung furniture for socializing — the Theodore sofa from CPRN Homood emphasizes comfort through generous volumes and soft shapes. A modular system, the sofa can be configured and reconfigured to create personalized settings that range from expansive to intimate. 

The generous platform-like cushions have crisply tailored detailing, with rounded armrests softening the linear profile. Discreet feet lift the sofa off the ground in a way that it appears to float, helping to define a space without overwhelming. Five modules are included in the Theodore system, which can be upholstered in a range of velvets, leathers and other high-end fabrics.

Sereno by Ocee & Four Design

U.K. contract furniture-maker Ocee & Four Design’s latest release is the Sereno sofa, designed in collaboration with Valencia-based Yonoh Studio. Devised as a sofa that can “belong anywhere yet always feel like home,” the shapely form exudes a subtle simplicity that invites moments of pause, calm and connection. Meaning ‘serenity’ in Spanish, Sereno marries soft transitions with precise detailing. The resulting silhouette is one that balances proportion with poise. 

The immaculately tailored Sereno is available in three configurations -one-, two-and three-seaters — and features solid oak legs in either natural or black lacquered finishes. To enhance productivity, optional electrical units can be integrated on either side, and, on a sustainable note, the foam and fabrics are not glued to the frame, meaning they are able to be replaced and recycled as required.
