As time passes, changes in lifestyles naturally occur. A contemporary space is one that not only bears witness to temporal change but often embraces it, supporting new and enticing ways of living. Championing modular sofas, storage systems and mattresses, King provides versatile products that effortlessly belong in any modern-day environment.

King has been designing innovative and versatile furniture for 45 years. Modular furniture is the sum of its individual parts; it has an inherent longevity, wherein each aspect has the potential to be reused or repaired in isolation. Designed to last for generations, King modular furniture is forward-focused, functional and sustainable, giving key elements of the home the opportunity to reconfigure, enhance, merge or withdraw depending on the needs of its residents.

King is particularly skilled in crafting modular sofas, seen specifically through both Jasper and Delta. Jasper is an award-winning design – favoured among customers for its sumptuous and adjustable nature – with a seat cushion that allows for choice between feather overlay and luxurious memory foam. Alongside the ability to position the chaise to the left or right, users can convert both sofas into a guest bed. A collection of smart accessories including a wireless charging table, LED reading light and SONOS compatible speaker bracket allow for a liberating degree of customisation. Jasper can also incorporate a media console and timber shelving – available in a choice of finishes – whilst Delta enables choice of seat depth and leg height. Both sofas see the King steel frame performing in unison with the Postureflex® Seating System to create a robust, supportive structure, whilst the Ultradown® back cushions promote a superior sense of comfort.

Testifying to the King reputation for excellence, the Vertio Wall System is a pioneering solution to a common problem. In contrast to singular, preassembled works that would have to be discarded, the modular wall storage system is refreshingly convenient, capable of fitting into different-sized spaces. The design takes inspiration from iconic pieces from the 1940s and is reverse engineered from the geometry of a completed unit. King provides two options for application – wall-mounted or compression-mounted between the floor and ceiling – both minimising disturbance to architectural surrounds. Featuring timber and powder-coated metal components, the Vertio Wall System complements a multiplicity of interior aesthetics.

Informed by a deep consideration of lifestyle, King products are multifaceted and reflect the value of versatility.

The Sleep+ Mattress is similarly an entirely modular system allowing users to customise comfort layers in response to their own requirements, even enabling differentiation between sides of the bed. Available as Hybrid Comfort, Latex Comfort, Memory Comfort or Premium Firm Comfort, the comfort layers span across varied levels of support, utilising high-density natural latex in some instances and lavish memory foam in others. Beneath the comfort layer sits the Flex Base layer; carefully zoned using Kingcell® Pocket Coil Springs, the material intuitively responds to body weight and shape, providing maximum support and pressure relief. Interchangeable Fit Covers allow users to exercise control over the bedding temperature – CoolFit draws heat away from the body; WarmFit features an internal electric blanket for colder months whilst AirFit is equipped to circulate air for a unique tactile experience.
