Sloth gets a bad rap. Sure, you can multitask on Sunday. But why, when you can just melt instead? Refined and well-bred enough for the poshest of interiors, the Sunday Sofa is designed to look good, but still be all about the comfort, baby! A simple recessed leg eliminates distraction and lets the down-filled cushions and thin frame levitate. On Sunday, you rest.
• Sturdy kiln-dried American hardwood frame, doweled and corner blocked for added strength • Webbing provides durable support beneath cushions • Innerspring core cushions are surrounded by high resiliency foam, then wrapped in feather and down to provide a plush, comfortable seat, and with use will take on a more casual appearance. To promote even wear over time, we recommend fluffing and flipping cushions frequently after use. • Extra deep seat and lower profile lends a loungey and laidback feel • Agnew Grey: 77% Cotton / 13% Polyester blend upholstery
Our very first designs were sketched on a shared roll of butcher paper spread across a long table in a 300 square foot space in Minneapolis. Three college friends, two architects and a sculptor, just dreaming and designing. The early makings of a very humble venture inspired by our own futile search for desirable and accessible modern designs for our own homes. Our goal then and now was to bring good design to as many people as possible. We never imagined that over 20 years later, we¡¯d be lucky enough to still be designing purposeful and beautiful objects in our Minneapolis studio. Only now we do it with an incredibly talented team of fellow design lovers (and a much longer table).
Together, we¡¯ve built a business that not only supports our design habit, but lets us have our hands on the whole process, from product development through the customer experience. It¡¯s how we design pieces that are in it for the long haul. Some of our most popular designs today were part of our very first collection. We hesitate to call anything an ¡°icon,¡± but we¡¯re working on it!
In 2018, Blu Dot was awarded the prestigious Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in the ¡®Product Design¡¯ category.
