The Sabbatical Sofa is made to order and by hand here in Long Island City, New York. Inspired by an antique roll-top sofa we encountered in an English library, we set out to design a sitting experience that would give the impression of settling into a clawfoot bathtub: you’ll want to make time for it, and stay awhile.
Our prototype is covered in a printed linen on the interior, and antique French hemp ticking on the exterior, but we are happy to apply any material you choose.
We hope those who invest in a Sabbatical Sofa won’t be afraid to scuff it and rough it and wrestle with their dog in it. Most vitally, to take a blessed sabbatical in it–for an hour or a day or a year–to read and dream and feel better about everything.
