Mael corner sofas

Rounded curves rather than straight lines: the Mael sofa brings a softer note to a living room, and it comes as a left-hand or right-hand corner. These two versions share the same handcrafted design, oriented one way or the other.

Left-hand or right-hand corner

The side is defined as you face the sofa, as if you were about to sit down. If the long section, the one where you stretch out your legs, extends to your left, the left-hand corner is the one you need. Mael comes in both orientations, and that is the only difference between the two product pages.

Measure the wall and the route

A corner sofa takes up two walls: measure the length of each one before choosing, then keep a clear path in front of the seat so you can move around without bumping into the coffee table. Also think about the route to the living room, including the front door, the hallway and the stairwell.

What curves change

A rounded silhouette softens a room full of right angles and rectangular furniture. It does, however, need a little breathing room: avoid wedging it between two bookcases. Pair it with a round or oval coffee table, and a rug large enough to go under its feet.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose between the left-hand and right-hand corner?

Stand facing the sofa: if the long section extends to your left, choose the left-hand corner. If in doubt, mark out its footprint on the floor with masking tape.

How much space should I allow around it?

Allow about sixty centimeters between the seat and the coffee table, and a passage of at least eighty centimeters at the side so you can move around without walking around the whole piece.

Are the two versions otherwise identical?

Yes, only the direction of the corner sets them apart. The design, dimensions and finishes are those of the same model.
