Thuma has expanded from bedroom staples into a living room collection that includes two sofa designs and two coffee table styles. The collection continues a minimalist aesthetic while introducing softer edges and cozy proportions. The Essential sofa in mocha fabric with a walnut base offers a warmer, earthy counterpoint to modernism. The system is modular: sofa-sectionals reconfigure with simple Japanese joinery, and Beam coffee table dimensions align with the sofa for cohesive arrangements. The release raises questions about over-minimalism among affluent urban buyers, and it offers options for mixing Thuma pieces with other homey elements.
That said, I can't help but wonder, are we going too minimalist? If my living room becomes Thuma media console, Thuma bookshelf, Thuma coffee table, and Thuma sectional, are we just recreating IKEA for rich Brooklynites and Silicon Valley types? Soon I'll have to call my dog-sitter and tell him that I forgot to mention our Borzoi has anxiety because we don't let him up on the Thuma sofa. "Please spend 10 minutes on the ground with him."
Maybe we temper that by going half Thuma with the interior decorating? In which case, the sofa is the absolutely perfect addition the the lineup. The look is simple, modern shapes, but they don't take that overly sharp look that really kills contemporary furniture. The edges are soft, and the overall look is cozy, something you would actually let the dog lay on. Of the entire collection, I'm most attracted to the Essential with a mocha fabric and walnut finish on the base.
Which reminds me, the thing that really draws me to this releasebesides the fact that, sure, if you want to go full Thuma with your house you can nowis that the living room system is inherently modular. The sofa-sectionals can be retooled with simple Japanese joinery. And since the dimensions of the Beam coffee table align so perfectly with the sofa, you can create a middle of the sofa
