Modern Sofas

The modern sofa serves as a focal point for open concept living and compact spaces alike. It offers a place to crash after a long day. A space for rest and relaxation; a source of comfort. A cozy spot to binge the latest shows, take in a favourite movie, or a place that could even double as a home office.

Our sofas are available with custom options to suit not only your dream space but your lifestyle. Modern, mid century, contemporary, vintage-inspired, and reclining styles are available, with differing lengths, arm heights, and cushion options available. And of course, you can upholster any of our sofas in one of our curated selection of fabric or leather.

With so many options available, you may not know where to start when designing and ordering your modern couch. We suggest considering the way you live and your desired function. Movie nights call for cushions you can sink into, conversations over wine may need a straight-back. Modular sofas are great for starter homes, allowing them to grow with you (and your stamp of square footage). Love entertaining? You might want to opt for elevated elegance like the sophisticated Oma or the iconic Replay.

We also have options featuring discreet storage compartments, helping your store extra bedding or pillows for added convenience. Our storage sofas easily open with their lift mechanism. Having an impromptu overnight guest? Our sleeper sofas are an easy way to help a living space do double-duty as guest room when you having to play host unexpectedly.

At EQ3, we believe there is a sofa soulmate out there for everyone—and it’s our pleasure to help you find it. With endless options for personalization, we can help bring your vision into reality.

All our modern couches are hand made at our Canadian Headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This means a sketch goes right from the designer’s hands to the upholsterer’s. Our made-to-order upholstery model lets you choose pieces that are attuned to your space and taste and lets us focus on building quality furniture made to last, one at a time. It also means we can use exactly the amount of materials required: no more and no less. Plus, by keeping a lot of our production close to home, we reduce our carbon emissions related to travel and support local talent.

Sofas For your Living Space

Browse over 20 collections to find the style and silhouette that suits your space and taste. Each collection carries with a unique set of options for further customization, ranging from arm height, back cushions, and legs.

There are several key considerations that shouldn’t be overlooked before you determine which sofa you’d like to welcome into your home. The first of these is style : It’s crucial to choose a piece you can have a lasting love affair with. Browse over 20 collections to find the style and silhouette that suits your space and taste. Each collection carries with a unique set of options for further customization , ranging from arm height, back cushions, and legs. Select collections offer differing arm heights and styles. Choose what serves your space best.

Some of our collections offer different leg options, which range from sleek and slim to more substantial. Your selection should come down to how you want the space to feel. Slim legs will produce an elegant and elevated feel, whereas a thicker base will create an inviting and comfort-forward sensibility .

Each collection offers a unique seating experience. Our sofas are constructed using either high-density, high-resiliency foam, feathers, or a combination of both. Foam produces a structured look and firm feel, requiring less maintenance due to the foam’s high density and high resiliency. Feathers create a softer, luxurious feel, but will require fluffing in order to maintain its shape. Fiber fillings tend to be made from polyester and results in a soft, fluffy feel. Cushions will need plumping between use. Consider your lifestyle , your preferred level of maintenance, and the way you plan to use your sofa to determine the best fit for you.

Think critically about how you want to use your furniture in your space, and what purpose the room is intended for. What is the flow of traffic like? Is there a focal point in the room? At the end of the day, we create furniture for people, and how those people intend to use their pieces should always be a factor in its production. If you’re looking for something casual: Late night movie nights and regrouping after a long day. There needs to be a spot for the whole gang on a casual sofa , and ideally, there’s a chaise attachment or ottoman included for tired feet to be elevated. Or perhaps you’re more into a formal appeal: If your sofa is going to be used primarily for entertaining, then it’s okay to skip the cozier elements like L-shapes and footrests. A formal living space should provide structure, while still offering encouragement to settle in.

Also consider your dimensions: any substantial piece of furniture will need to work in harmony with other existing features. Consider what the flow of traffic is like, and how you’d like a sofa or chair to influence that flow. We’ve analyzed our sofa sizes into Small/Medium/Large scale for those working with fixed dimensions. View our measuring guide to learn how to ensure your new sofa will fit seamlessly with the others (and make it through your front door!).

Our greatest hope is to have our pieces interwoven within the fabric of your life story: heirlooms passed along to grandchildren and fixtures tucked into the background of your favourite memories. We believe in empowering you to make informed decisions about the pieces you invite into your home, so you can make a choice that sticks, that never needs to be second guessed. That means being as transparent as possible about our processes, materials, and all the details in between.

We hope to help you find the piece that stands the test of time and never goes out of style in the context of your home. Something you can appreciate every day you come home from work in search of respite, year after year. In order to best position ourselves able to fulfil that goal, we employ as much transparency as possible. We believe that the more educated you are on our pieces, the better you’ll be able to make a choice that lasts.

When it comes to selecting the right material for your sofa , there are several other things to consider in order to make the best choice for your space. Colour, for one, defines the mood of a space. Stuck on a few swatches that you can’t seem to decide between? Order complimentary swatches to your doorstep to help narrow it down and remove the guesswork. This is a valuable step as it will increase your confidence in your choice and give you a better idea of how your selected fabric will interact with existing living room furniture.

Here’s how you can best take advantage of our swatch ordering program:

Fan out your swatches so they are overlapping slightly. Do some have warmer or cooling undertones? Do they change in different lighting scenarios? Place each to your skin in succession and pay attention to how it feels against your skin. Are some smoother than others? By having multiple options to use as reference points, it’s easier for you to pick on small differences.

Hold swatches up to any existing elements in your space: floorboards, wall colours, and any other materials or fabrics in your space . If you’re still in a planning period, a mood board is a great way to bring disparate factors into focus. Examine how the colours play together. There are no golden rules about which colours can be paired together, you just have to make sure you’re on board with the combinations you’re creating.

If you’re living in a high-traffic household and expect your materials to endure a little wear and tear, this is your opportunity to put them to the test. Make sure you wait to see how your swatches look after any cleaning solutions have dried as well. As beautiful as a fabric or leather might be, there’s no sense in bringing a material into your space if you don’t think you’ll be able to maintain it.

On a small scale, these details might feel unimportant (or go unnoticed), but once it’s canvasing a sofa these subtleties can have a big impact. Custom Furniture is an investment, and by taking the steps to ensure a material will work well in your space and serve your lifestyle, you can feel confident knowing you’ve made a choice that never needs to be second guessed.

Also consider durability. Consider your lifestyle in the context of the maintenance required to keep a particular fabric or leather in tip-top shape. Do you have kids and pets playing in the vicinity frequently? You might want to choose a fabric sofa that plays well with others. As a general rule of thumb, tightly-woven fabrics in 100% polyester and leathers with a semi-aniline or pigmented coating work best with pets, children, and other factors similarly inclined toward spillage.

From fabric couch and leather couch options to the configurations that best serve your layout, there are no shortage of options to help ensure you never have to settle.

All of our leathers are a byproduct of the diary/meats industry, and some of our fabrics are made from the recycled materials leftover from the garment industry.
