The light-scaled Eames Compact Sofa gives all the comfort usually
associated with long, low, heavy sofas. It fits well where bulkier, traditional
sofas don't--such as an executive suite or lounge as well as a home's alcove,
vestibule, study, or nook.
The compact sofa's striking profile and crisp, light scale evolved from a
built-in sofa that Charles and Ray Eames designed for the living room of
their Pacific Palisades home. Knowing this makes the name "compact" seem
less curious for a sofa that's over 6 feet long and provides such comfortable
support from shoulders to knees. The sofa has been in continuous
production by Herman Miller since 1954.
This sofa has a 2.5" thick upholstered foam cushion with cord welting
supported by the black enameled steel frame and wire-springs that form
the frame. It has polished chrome-plated tubular steel legs and stainless
steel glides. Call Design Quest for upholstery color options.
