Collection: Model 19 Sofas

The Model 19 sofa collection pairs heritage piping and button detailing with a compact, retro-inspired design, delivered straight to your door in a box.

A compact, retro-inspired sofa collection

Not every living room has space for a full-sized three-seater, and that's exactly where the Model 19 comes in. It's designed to be more compact than Swyft's other sofa collections, without losing the retro-inspired silhouette that makes it distinctive. The range runs from a single Ottoman up to a Loveseat, Two-Seater, Three-Seater, and Three-Seater Chaise in left-hand or right-hand orientation, so there's a size that fits smaller rooms, snugs, and studio flats just as well as a larger living room.

The Model 19 comes in 32 fabric and colourway combinations, spanning linen, velvet, boucle, chenille, leather, mottled velvet and faux leather. Can't decide? Order a free fabric sample before you buy.

Slim, tapered black metal legs

Underneath, slim, tapered black metal legs carry the retro styling all the way to the floor, for a refined, mid-century-inspired edge that pairs as easily with a heritage-style living room as it does a more contemporary one.

Heritage piping and button detailing

Piping along the cushions, arms and back gives the Model 19 its heritage look, finished with button detailing that nods to classic upholstery styling rather than a purely modern silhouette (the Ottoman is finished without piping or buttons, in keeping with its simpler shape). Every cushion is filled with hollow fibre for a soft, plump feel that holds up over time.

Model 19 FAQs

What is a button back sofa?

A button back sofa is upholstered with button detailing set into the fabric, traditionally used to add texture and a tailored, heritage look to the back and cushions. On the Model 19, button detailing is paired with piping along the cushions, arms and back for a similar effect, on every configuration except the Ottoman.

What's the difference between a loveseat and a two-seater sofa?

A loveseat is typically a smaller, more compact two-seat design than a standard two-seater sofa, better suited to tighter spaces while still comfortably seating two. The Model 19 range includes both a Loveseat and a separate, slightly larger Two-Seater, so there's a choice depending on the room.

Is a compact sofa still comfortable?

A well-designed compact sofa doesn't have to compromise on comfort. The Model 19 uses hollow fibre-filled cushions across every configuration, giving the same soft, plump feel as Swyft's larger sofa collections in a smaller footprint.

What is mid-century modern style?

Mid-century modern style refers to furniture and interior design from roughly the 1930s to the 1960s, typically featuring clean lines, a low profile, and tapered or angled legs. The Model 19's slim, tapered black metal legs take a direct cue from this style.
