Two delivery men measured your staircase, looked at each other, and carried the sofa back down.

This one arrives compressed in a single box that goes wherever a person can walk, and ten minutes later your living room is finished. No crew, no appointment window, no frame to wrestle round the landing.

  • It goes where furniture cannot. A 68-inch sofa in a carton 16.5 inches square. Through a 30-inch door, around a stairwell turn, up a walk-up with a second pair of hands.
  • Ten minutes, no tools. Cut the seal, let it take its shape, put it where you want it. Nothing to screw in, no hardware to lose, no instructions to decode.
  • Nothing rigid inside. No wooden frame, no metal bar. That is what lets it compress, and what removes the hard edge you feel at the back of a conventional seat.
  • A 3D spacer air-mesh cover. The open honeycomb knit used on performance seating. It breathes instead of trapping heat under you, springs back rather than flattening, and wipes clean.
  • Made for you, not pulled off a shelf. Yours is cut and compressed to order, then shipped straight to your door. About 25 days for production and shipping, and no warehouse markup in the price.
  • 100 days to decide. If it is wrong, we arrange the collection and refund you in full. No restocking fee, no return shipping.

For renters in old buildings, walk-ups and small apartments who want a real sofa and have already been told theirs will not fit.

Materials & construction

No frame. The seat is compressed foam through and through, shaped rather than built, which is why there is no hard edge anywhere on it and why it goes into a box at all. The cover is a 3D spacer air-mesh knit.

Shipping & delivery

It travels compressed into a single carton, which is why it arrives as one box instead of a freight delivery you wait in for. No appointment window and no crew in your hallway.

Assembly

Cut the vacuum seal, let it take its shape, and put the piece where you want it. About ten minutes, no tools and no hardware to lose.

Returns & warranty

Live with it for 100 days. If it is not right, email us and we arrange the collection and refund you in full, with no restocking fee and no return shipping to pay.

Everything is covered against manufacturing defects for two years, in the foam and in the cover, seams included. It runs from your delivery date and is separate from the trial.

ALL IN THE DETAIL

The Cloud, up close

AP-89 2 seat bubble sofa in Cloud White 3D air-mesh, straight-on studio packshot

A seat with nothing rigid in it

There is no wood and no metal anywhere in the Cloud. The bubble volumes are not padding stretched over a frame, they are the structure itself, which is why the piece compresses into a single carton and why you never find a hard edge with your shoulder. At sixty-eight inches across it seats two comfortably, and its rounded silhouette reads as one object rather than a set of parts.

The comfort

A seat that gives where a wooden edge would push back. You settle into the shape rather than being held upright by it, and because there is no frame under the foam there is nothing to find with your back after an hour.

The silhouette

Deep rounded volumes, low to the floor, the same shape at every size. It has real presence in a room without crowding it, and the thirteen colorways let you match it to your floor instead of to a catalogue.

Macro of the 3D spacer air-mesh knit cover

A knit made for real life

The Cloud is covered in a 3D spacer air-mesh, the open honeycomb knit used on performance seating, not a looped pile. It breathes instead of trapping heat under you, it springs back rather than flattening where you always sit, and there is no loop for a claw to catch. Thirteen colorways, from Cloud White to Ink Black.

Composition

A three-dimensional spacer knit: two face layers held apart by a vertical monofilament core. That air gap is what makes it breathable and what makes it recover its shape, and it is why the cover feels nothing like a boucle or a velvet.

Resistance

No pile to crush and no loops to pull, so it does not pill and it does not flatten into a shine on the seat you always use. It lives well with a cat or a dog.

Care

Vacuum with a soft brush head. For a spill, blot with lukewarm water and a clean cloth rather than rubbing, and let it dry in the open air.

The AP-89 arrives in one long flat carton

Shipped compressed, returned without a fuss

It arrives vacuum-packed in a carton 16.5 inches square and 49 inches long, which clears a standard 30-inch door and turns in a stairwell. You cut the seal in the room where it is going to live, it takes its shape back, and about ten minutes later it is furniture. If it turns out to be wrong, you have 100 days and we pay for the collection.

Shipping

Free anywhere in the US, duties included. Made to order, about 25 days in all: roughly 15 days to make it, then shipping to your door. Tracking as soon as your piece leaves the workshop. Left at your door by a standard carrier, no appointment window and no crew in your hallway.

Setup

About 10 minutes, one person, no tools and no hardware to lose. Cut the vacuum seal, let the foam take its shape, put it where you want it.

100-day returns

Live with it for 100 days. If it is not right, tell us and we arrange the collection and refund you in full. No restocking fee, no return shipping, and nothing to repack. Colour that reads differently in your light is a valid reason.

What's inside, layer by layer

The layer you touch. An open honeycomb knit rather than a looped pile, so air moves through it instead of sitting against you and there is nothing for claws to catch. It springs back where you always sit instead of flattening.

A soft quilted sheet between the cover and the core. It takes the first few millimetres of every sit, which is what keeps the knit from being pulled tight over the foam and what gives the bubbles their soft edge.

The part that decides how it feels in year ten. High-resilience foam recovers its shape after each sit instead of packing down, and it is what the bubble volumes are shaped from.

No wood and no metal anywhere in it. The base is foam too, shaped rather than built, which is why nothing can work loose, why there is no hard edge to find with your shoulder, and why the whole piece compresses into one carton.

UNDER THE MESH

Built without a frame

Macro of the 3D spacer air-mesh knit cover

No wood, no metal

Nothing rigid anywhere in it. That is what lets it compress, what makes it light enough to move alone, and what removes the hard edge you feel on a conventional sofa.

The shape is the material

The form is not padding stretched over a structure. It is the structure. It cannot come loose from a frame it does not have.

A 3D spacer air-mesh

An open honeycomb knit rather than a looped pile, so there is nothing for claws to catch and it springs back instead of flattening where you always sit.

IN YOUR SPACE

Made for the room you actually have

Thirteen colorways

From Cloud White to Ink Black, with Vivid Orange, Petrol Teal and Chartreuse in between. Pick the one that works with your floor, not the one the catalogue pushed.

Three sizes, one shape

The same silhouette at 44, 68 and 96 inches. Start with the armchair and add the sofa later in the same colorway.

A shape that reads as one object

Low and rounded. It fills a room visually without crowding it, and it does not read as a set of parts.

Why we made this

"It will never make it up my stairs."

Every sofa I liked came with the same sentence somewhere in the checkout: delivery is kerbside, please ensure access. I lived on a fourth floor with a staircase that turned twice. Two delivery men once measured it, looked at each other, and carried my sofa back down. This one arrives as a single carton that clears a standard 30-inch door and turns in that stairwell. The three-seater included.

"Why is it a fraction of what I have seen this shape cost?"

Because it was built to compress, and everything else follows from that. No frame to assemble, no crate, no two-man delivery, no showroom floor. Compression is not a cheaper way to ship furniture, it is the only way to get a full-size sofa into a building like mine without a crew, a hoist, or a favour from three friends. That is where the money went, and where it did not.

"And if it isn't right?"

Three questions come up every time. Will it hold up: there is no frame in it, so nothing works loose, and the mesh springs back instead of flattening where you always sit. Will the colour be right: a screen cannot promise you that, which is why colour on its own is a valid reason to send it back. And if it is wrong: you keep it a hundred days, we arrange the collection, and you pay nothing. No restocking fee, no return shipping, and you never have to get it back in the box.

Frequently asked

Will it fit up my stairs?

The three-seater ships as one box 19 inches square and 49 inches long, weighing 128 pounds: a two-person carry. The two-seater box is 16.5 inches square (104 lb) and the armchair 14 inches square (66 lb). Every box clears a standard 30-inch door and turns in a stairwell.

How long does setup actually take?

About ten minutes. Cut the seal, let the piece take its shape, put it where you want it. No tools, no hardware, nothing to screw in.

When will it arrive?

About 25 days from the day you order: roughly 15 days to make your piece, then shipping to your door. That is why it takes a few weeks rather than two days. You get tracking as soon as it leaves the workshop.

Is the color true to the photos?

The mesh changes with the light in the room and with the calibration of your screen, so we will not promise you an exact match. Colour is a valid reason to return, and the 100-day trial exists partly for this.

Will it sag?

There is no frame to sag away from. The foam is compressed throughout and the air-mesh springs back rather than flattening where you always sit, so the shape holds instead of settling into a dip. Covered against manufacturing defects for two years.

Is the seat firm or soft?

Soft. You settle into it rather than sit on top of it, and with no frame under the foam there is no hard edge to stop you, not at the front of the seat and not behind your shoulder. If you want a firm, upright seat that holds you at ninety degrees, this is not that sofa. If you have been sitting on a frame and finding it by the end of the evening, it is.
