Herman Miller Eames Sofa Compact
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Lean, smooth, and made for lounging, the Eames Sofa Compact brings a minimal, mid-century modern vibe to the home. The Eameses designed a built-in sofa for their Pacific Palisades home in the 1940s - and liked it so much that they adapted it to be a stand-alone sofa. No longer foldable like the original, the Sofa Compact is still the standard for sofa simplicity. Fill the space you have without overwhelming your room - the Sofa Compact stands at 6' wide and seats 3 people comfortably. Or, you can get friendly and seat 4.
The Eames Sofa Compact has been in continuous production by Herman Miller since 1954.
The light-scaled Eames Sofa Compact gives all the comfort usually associated with long, low, heavy sofas. Plus, it fits where bulkier, traditional sofas don't - such as an executive suite or lounge as well as a home's alcove, vestibule, study or nook. Combine that with its innovative, minimal look and you have a "just-right" piece of lounge furniture.
From 1954 until today, the Eames Sofa Compact has provided a comfortable place to sit in countless homes around the world. What could be better than a sofa that doesn't get in your way? If you need seating in a cozy place and are looking for classic furniture, the Sofa Compact is your cup of tea.

The sofa compact's striking profile and crisp, light scale evolved from a built-in sofa that Charles and Ray Eames designed for the living room of their Pacific Palisades home. Knowing this makes the name ''compact'' seem less curious for a sofa that's over 6 feet long and provides such comfortable support from shoulders to knees. The sofa has been in continuous production by Herman Miller since 1954.
