IXIA taupe sofa with loose cushions and sloping arms

This taupe IXIA sofa is distinguished by arms that descend towards the front of the seat. Two broad seat cushions lie above a low upholstered base, while several loose cushions give the back a softer, irregular edge. IXIA specifies a pine frame, elastic webbing and different fillings for seat and back. Cushions and frame are described as having removable covers; the supplier does not state the exact fabric composition.

Design and materials

The diagonal of each arm adds direction to an otherwise horizontal form. The taupe reads between grey and beige in the studio image and changes with light. Loose cushions make the top less rigid without concealing the unusual arm profile.

Why choose this sofa?

• Sloping arms open the seating area.
• Taupe connects stone and timber.
• Two cushions define the seat.
• Loose backs soften the outline.
• A pale rug clarifies the base.

Where should it go?

Place the sofa against a clear wall so the sloping arms remain visible. A slim floor lamp at one end adds height. Use a pale rug and leave passage in front of the seat; the technical measurements help set the distance to the table.

A considered interior choice

Stone, timber and quiet ceramics let the arm shape lead the composition. Do not infer a fabric fibre or a measured comfort level from the photograph. Consult IXIA's care instructions for the removable covers; other furniture in the room image is separate.
