Generous Proportions, Soft Comfort Throughout

The Mariposa 3-Seater is the most generously proportioned sofa in the family — ample room and soft comfort for the whole family. Two seat cushions run the length of the sofa, and the unusual depth of the seat surface means two people can sit at either end and comfortably face each other. The adjustable armrests double as a back or neck rest for reading or reclining.

Like all Mariposa sofas, the slim side and back elements can be individually tilted — continuously and silently — from an upright position to an outward angle of approximately 30° and back again. The resistance is calibrated so that the elements stay in place under normal use, but yield to intentional pressure, allowing each user to find their ideal position.
