Premium materials for lasting comfort


The Dawson Sofa is crafted with durability in mind. Choose from two material upholstery: polyester-linen blend that offers a soft, textured feel; or top-grain wax leather for those seeking a more luxurious option. Over time, the leather will develop a natural patina or slight sheen, adding character to the sofa as part of the normal wear and tear process.


Beneath the fabric, the seat cushions are filled with a carefully balanced mix of foam, fiber, and feathers, giving them a structured yet plush feel. To enhance support and longevity, the sofa is built with sinuous springs that prevent sagging, ensuring even weight distribution and long-lasting comfort.

The frame is constructed from laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and plywood, making it both sturdy and lightweight for easy reconfiguration. The sofa sits on black-coated plastic legs, which provide a sleek, modern finish while maintaining stability. Every element of the Dawson Sofa is designed for comfort, durability, and effortless style.


Unmatched comfort and design


The Dawson Sofa boasts deep, generously padded seats that invite you to sink in and unwind, making it feel like you’re resting on a cloud. 


The design is both stylish and functional, with a low-profile, streamlined silhouette that gives it a modern yet inviting look. Whether placed in a minimalist living space or a cozy, eclectic home, the Dawson Sofa adapts effortlessly, making it a versatile addition to any interior.

Available in Beach Linen (light beige), Seagull (light gray), as well as leather options, the Dawson blends seamlessly with various color palettes. Beach Linen complements earthy tones, natural woods, and airy aesthetics, while Seagull pairs beautifully with darker wood, navy accents, and modern interiors. 


On the other hand, the leather option exudes a timeless luxury that works well in modern spaces. 


Effortless maintenance


Keeping the Dawson Sofa looking fresh is simple. The removable cushion covers allow for easy cleaning, so spills and everyday messes are never a concern. 


Both the polyester-linen blend fabric and wax leather are designed to withstand daily use while remaining soft and comfortable. 


Here are some pointers to take note of when it comes to the maintenance and care Dawson Sofas:

  • Regularly vacuum the sofa with a brush attachment to remove any loose dust particles and debris

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and keep the sofa away from any heating source to prevent fading or discoloration

  • As Dawson has removable cushions, flip, rotate, and fluff the seat and back cushions regularly to prolong their lifespan and keep them plump

  • Avoid sitting on the arms and frame of the sofa to prevent breakage

  • When moving the sofa, lift it at the base instead of dragging


For leather care, here’s what you should take note of:

  • Use a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and supple — let it dry completely before sitting.

  • Avoid placing sharp items on the sofa, like keys or scissors.
