Haussmann Collection

The Haussmann collection comes down to three things: a cream bouclé fabric, round cushions and a generous seat. It brings together straight sofas in several widths, from the compact model to the three-seater version, for a light, understated living room.

Choosing the sofa width

Start by measuring the wall that will hold the sofa, then subtract enough room to walk past at each end. A compact model seats two and lets a small room breathe; the three-seater version needs a clear wall and becomes the anchor of the living room. Think about depth too: a generous seat extends into the room and narrows the passage in front of the coffee table.

What bouclé does

Bouclé is a fabric with tight loops that catches the light without reflecting it. Its texture hides seat marks far better than a smooth weave, and it gives the shape a soft, almost sculpted look. On the other hand, the loops hold dust: going over it regularly with a soft-brush vacuum attachment keeps it looking clean.

Living with a cream shade

A light color makes a room feel larger and pairs well with wood, rattan and cool grays. In return, it asks for a little care: treat a stain while it's fresh, dabbing with a barely damp white cloth, from the edge toward the center. A throw draped over the armrest protects the most-used area.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the same sofa appear several times?

Because each width has its own product page. The design and the fabric stay the same, only the number of seats changes.

Will the sofa fit through my entryway?

Measure the narrowest passage, whether the door, the landing or the stairwell, and compare it with the dimensions of the model you're interested in.

How do I care for bouclé day to day?

Vacuum on low power with a soft brush, following the direction of the loops. Avoid rubbing a stain: it spreads the fibers apart and leaves a ring.
