Imbued with a definitive contemporary Australian aesthetic, the launch of the 1977 Sofa by King Living offers a timeless reimagination of the inaugural King Living sofa, The Award, which made its debut in 1977.

Marrying innovative craftsmanship with elements of classic sofa design, the 1977 Sofa merges the past and the present in an elegant and evocative way. The sofa draws on the soft simplicity of its predecessor while welcoming modern nuances. Boasting organic and sinuous contours combined with CFC-free high-resilience foam and fibres, the 1977 sofa is soft to the touch, inspiring leisure, relaxation and comfort.

Flexibility lies at the heart of the 1977 Sofa. Its modular design means the sofa can be rearranged into endless configurations in a way that adapts to different lifestyles and spatial conditions. A patented connecting system allows modules the be combined seamlessly and securely.

Sofa modules are available in two exclusive fabric collections and tailored covers can be easily removed and machine washed. Shades can also be personalised, with a palette that includes Leura Natural White, Leura Biscotti, Leura Linen, Leura Sandstone, Leura Caramel, Leura Wattle and Leura Mangrove.
