Description

This custom modular sofa system gives you full control over your setup. Start compact for a smaller space, expand into a lounge configuration later, or reconfigure when you move. The structure is built to adapt.

Kairos offers eight different modules, from ottoman and armchair to two-seater, three-seater and chaise longue. You can combine them freely to create your ideal layout. Every frame includes built-in connection points, so modules can be attached, detached or rearranged without replacing the base.

Production happens in controlled batches to avoid overstock and unnecessary waste. The steel frames provide long-term stability. Back cushions are filled with Dutch sheep wool, seat cushions with high-quality cold foam. All covers are removable and washable. If a cover wears out or you want a new look, you can replace it separately.

The online configurator allows you to experiment with different setups, fabrics and colours. With the AR tool, you can visualise your configuration directly in your own living room. Prefer personal guidance? You can book an appointment and design the layout together.

This is a seating system designed to evolve with you instead of being replaced when life changes.

Who is this for

  • For people who want a sofa that grows and changes with their life instead of being replaced
  • For those who value repairability, modularity and full transparency in materials

Out of the ordinary

Each configuration is supported by a materials passport detailing exactly what’s inside. The modular steel frames allow you to expand, reduce or rearrange your seating without discarding the core structure.
