The Alaine Sofa adapts elements from the charming English-library mood of a Chesterfield settee, taking the nail head-edged rolled arms and the low tufted back that draws you to settle in with a book. This design then reinvents them with the cozy, transitional Francophile mood brought by a thick bench seat cushion, a chic tufted apron, and short turned legs of limed oak.
