Description
Our Ravello armed sofa has a smooth, rounded silhouette. Its thick arms curve over and run down to the floor as the front legs, and the whole piece, legs included, is upholstered in a textured fabric. The colour is named White, though in our photographs the fabric reads as a warm off-white with darker flecks, so allow for that when matching it to paint or other fabrics. It measures 145cm wide, 81cm deep and 75cm high, and the seat between the arms is a single piece, 114cm wide and 54cm deep, so there is no join between cushions to sit on.
At 145cm wide, it suits a wall that a longer sofa would crowd: a snug, a study, a smaller sitting room or the end of a bedroom. The seat is 45cm from the floor and the arms 57cm high, so hold both figures against the sofa or armchair you use now; that is the quickest way to judge how it will feel. The back rises 30cm above the seat, the measurement to check if you like to lean well back. At 75cm high overall, it can go beneath a window whose sill sits higher than that, and a side table beside it is best measured against the 57cm arm height.
By composition it is 80% plywood, 10% foam and 10% fabric. Plywood is made from thin layers of timber glued so the grain of each crosses the next, which makes it strong for its weight and less prone to warping than solid timber; foam is what pads and shapes an upholstered piece. It needs partial assembly, and a user guide is included. The lines are modern and tailored, and a pale sofa leaves room for stronger colour elsewhere: cushions in rust, olive or deep blue, a dark timber coffee table, a black metal floor lamp.

Frequently Asked
Will it fit in my living room?
It is 145cm wide, 81cm deep and 75cm high. Mark that footprint on the floor with masking tape first, and leave enough space in front to walk past and stretch your legs.
How high is the seat from the floor?
The seat is 45cm from the floor and the arms are 57cm high. Compare both with the sofa or armchair you use now, as it is the simplest way to judge how easy it will be to sit down and get up.
How deep is the seat, and how tall is the back?
The seat is 54cm deep and 114cm wide between the arms, and the back rises 30cm above it. If you like to lean well back or tuck your feet up, check those figures against the sofa you have now.
What is it made from?
By composition it is 80% plywood, 10% foam and 10% fabric, and the whole sofa, legs included, is covered in a textured fabric. The fibre content of the fabric itself is not specified.
Is the seat one cushion or two?
One. The seat is a single upholstered piece across its full 114cm width, so there is no gap between cushions wherever you sit, and the back is a single panel too.
Does it need assembling, and what is included?
It needs partial assembly, and a user guide is included. You receive one sofa; the armchair, rug, artwork and other pieces shown in our photographs are styling props and are not included.
