Have you ever thought about how much time you spend on the sofa?   

Research shows the average sofa with a 12-year lifespan will witness 4,428 kisses, 3,240 arguments, 7,482 hours of TV and movies, 4,287 hours of cuddles, 6,960 food and drink spills, and 4,776 hours of phone conversations¹.   

The scene of many pivotal moments in life, the sofa is a gathering point in your home and an essential piece of furniture.   

At King Living, we engineer our sofas to last a lifetime and witness endless hours of different uses. We also design our sofas with flexibility and functionality in mind. With modular sophistication, you have the flexibility to customise your sofa and reconfigure the layout to suit your apartment or smaller space.  

In this article, we will compare four apartment-friendly sofas - Delta, Fleur, Neo and Plaza - on style, versatility and available packages. 

After reading this article you will know which King Living sofa is best for your apartment.   

 

Featuring Delta Package 1 in Quinn Warm Silver. Styled with Lode Small Ottoman, Crescent Coffee Table Marble, Seymour Low Fixed Chair, Aspen Sideboard, Cassia Ottoman and the Patina Rug.

 

Delta Sofa

 

Conceptualised in the 1990s, Delta exudes timeless appeal and modular sophistication. With its embrace of flexible living, Delta adapts to how you live today, tomorrow and years into the future.  

 

Style

 

Characterised by its modular flexibility, Delta offers timeless charm and understated elegance.  

With clean, soft lines, Delta is simple yet sophisticated in style. Boasting modular sophistication, Delta has the versatility to change into numerous configurations.   

Ideal for apartment living, you have the flexibility to change the layout of your sofa and the position of the chaise to best suit your space.   

Delta is refined, versatile and beautifully simple. In 2006, Delta was selected as the sofa of choice for the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

Versatility

 

Perfect for smaller spaces, Delta's modularity allows you to seamlessly change your sofa's layout.   

Completely customisable, you can reconfigure a three-seater sofa into a two-seater sofa with a chaise or a guest bed.  

Optional Smart Pockets™ allow for a range of customisable accessories, including LED lamps, smart tables and charge tables, while the optional under-seat storage provides ample storage without compromising Delta's design or functionality.  

One of the many benefits of buying a Delta is you can always add additional modules or rearrange the configuration. This versatility makes Delta ideal for growing families or those who move regularly and need a sofa that can adapt to a different space and layout.  

The option to effortlessly separate and reassemble the modules also makes your Delta easier to move and transport than a fixed sofa design.  

 

Delta can be customised with optional Smart Tables and the Lume Smart Light (left).

 

Packages

 

As one of our most versatile sofas, Delta is available in numerous affordable packages, which range in size.

There are 15 package options in the Delta Collection – which means there is a package to suit every apartment living space. Sofa designs range from a two-seater sofa to five-seater packages and offer a large range of customisation options.  

The sofa packages and designs will fluctuate in price with the optional addition of Smart Pockets™, under-seat storage, timber shelving, and cushion inclusions. 

For more information and to view the packages, explore the Delta Sofa Collection. 

 

Drawbacks of Delta

 

Delta's sophisticated modular designs allow you to change the configuration and effortlessly convert the sofa into a guest bed.   

However, if you are not going to use Delta's modularity, this may be an unnecessary feature that only adds additional cost to your sofa.  

 

With innovative folding brackets, Fleur effortlessly transforms from a low-profile sofa to a relaxed deep-seated sofa with high back support.

 

Fleur Sofa

 

Defined by a low profile and soft curves, Fleur offers sculptural elegance. With a compact design and generous seating, Fleur is perfect for apartment living.  

 

Style

 

Fleur is sculptural and distinctive. A design choice that is both aesthetically elegant, comfortable, and endlessly inviting.  

Accentuated by the distinctive twin-needle stitching, Fleur combines classical elegance with contemporary flair.   

Resting on slender dark bronze legs, Fleur’s low profile achieves a grounded look, while the angled body is softened by elegantly rounded corners to bring an aura of sophisticated warmth and balance to your living space.

Versatility

 

Combining minimalist values with ingenuity, Fleur is one sofa offering two distinctive styles.   

Fleur’s ingenious folding backrests offer dual seating positions. In a single movement, transform your Fleur from a low-profile sofa to a deep-seated sofa with high back support.   

The gentle curve of Fleur’s slender arms maximises the seating surface.

Packages

 

The Fleur Collection ranges from two-seater to three-seater sofa packages, including. 

• Fleur 2 Seater 
• Fleur 2.5 Seater 
• Fleur 3 Seater  
• Fleur 3 Seater Chaise Package RH - includes a right-hand chaise module 
• Fleur 3 Seater Chaise Package LH - includes a left-hand chaise module 

 The Fleur design is also available in ottomans and occasional chairs. For more information, view the Fleur Collection. 

 

Drawbacks of Fleur

 

Fleur's modularity offers dual seating positions.   

While you can transform the low-profile sofa into a deep-seated sofa with high back support, you do not have the flexibility to change the sofa's layout.  

Unlike Delta, you cannot change the position of the chaise or add additional modules to the design.  

Fleur is not compatible with Smart Pockets™ and does not feature optional under-seat storage.   

 

The Neo Sofa is pictured in Olley Confetti.

 

Neo Sofa

 

Characterised by sleek lines and geometric forms, Neo captures the essence of minimalist modular sophistication. With a compact design, the streamlined platform supports deep seats without compromising floor space.  

 

Style

 

Neo is beautifully simple yet masterfully sophisticated by design.   

Neo's modern aesthetic merges with urban simplicity to bring interest and depth to the space. While boasting a modern aesthetic, Neo's refined features complement traditional and contemporary settings.  

The deep seats are inviting, while the sleek design and soft lines bring balance and flow to your living space.  

 

Versatility

 

Available in a range of sizes and configurations, tailor Neo to suit your specific interior space, personal comfort, and style preferences. 

Engineered with a steel frame for durability, Neo sits gently on sleek-tapered legs. Elevated off the floor, this allows for easy cleaning and brings flow to the space.  

The interchangeable backs and arms are available in three different heights allowing you to customise the design to suit and fit your apartment.  

To further the appeal Neo Deluxe provides the ultimate customisable comfort. With a touch of a button, the optional deluxe motion technology allows the seats, backs and arms to easily reposition and recline.  

This innovative and concealed technology separates Neo from other apartment sofa designs.  

 

Featuring Neo in Olley Confetti fabric.

 

Packages

 

Neo is available in a three-seater sofa and five-seater packages, with option motion technology. These include: 

• Neo Fixed 3 Seater Low Arms - three-seater with low arms.  
• Neo Fixed Package B1 - five-seater modular configuration with ottoman.  
• Neo Deluxe Package B1 - five-seater modular configuration with ottoman and integrated motion technology allowing for arms and backs to recline. 

 

Drawbacks of Neo

 

While Neo embraces a sleek profile, the reclining seat backs and arms in the Neo Deluxe range require extra space. If you wish to recline seat backs, you will need to position Neo away from any walls or furniture.   

You will need to consider this when deciding if Neo is suitable for your apartment. Additionally, Neo does not feature optional under-seat storage and is not compatible with Smart Pockets™  

 

Featuring Plaza in Preston Velvet Aegean Teal.

 

Plaza Sofa

 

A harmony of clean lines blends with soft elements to create a timeless aesthetic. Plaza is the definition of classic elegance and can effortlessly anchor the space.  

 

Style

 

With clean lines and generous seats, Plaza offers sophisticated comfort and contemporary design.   

Resting gently on elegant-tapered legs, which allow for easy cleaning, Plaza's classical aesthetic suits both casual and formal spaces.   

Deep seats topped with sumptuous feathers and Ultradown® back cushions invite you to relax.  

 

Plaza’s timeless aesthetic is the definition of sophisticated comfort.

 

Versatility

 

Plaza is available in various configurations and packages, including two-seater designs, three-seater sofas, designs with a chaise, and a range of larger sofa packages.   

You have the flexibility to combine different sofas and packages to create a unique design. This gives you the flexibility to change the layout of your Plaza and position the chaise on the left or right.  

From effortless entertaining to everyday lounging, Plaza's versatile modular design complements any living space.  

 

Plaza is featured in Preston Velvet Agean Teal.

 

Packages

 

The Plaza Collection features a range of designs, all varying in price and configuration, including three-seater sofa designs, two-seater sofas with chaise, and three-seater sofas with chaise.  

The Plaza packages include:

The King Living Difference

 

When comparing different designs in the King Living Sofa Collection, the most significant differences are in the style, size, price and package options.  

What all King Living sofas have in common is our unique steel frame, quality materials used in construction and:    

• A 25-year steel-frame warranty. 
• Postureflex® seating system similar to that found in luxury European cars.  
• Tailored covers can be removed or replaced for cleaning or a whole new look.  
• Over 200 premium fabrics and luxury European leathers to choose from.   

The thick overlay of Ultradown® delivers the signature sink-in comfort, while the King Living steel frame works together with the Postureflex® Seating System to provide long-lasting support.
