The Manhattan Sofa (Curved Backrest) is a low, elongated seating piece designed by Girodroux & Delpy for the Manhattan collection, created exclusively for Monde Singulier.
Its form is asymmetric and composed: a single armrest rises on the left, a curved backrest runs along the rear, and a spherical bolster pillow in matching cream textile completes the silhouette. The body is upholstered in cream textured textile, its rounded edges settling into substantial wooden block legs that carry the sofa with deliberate mass.
The textile upholstery is consistent with the cream and off-white materials used across the Manhattan collection. The wooden block legs are solid and thick, their dark brown grain visible and rough, each block carrying the same carved, matte-finished character as the other wooden elements in the Manhattan range.
Part of the Manhattan collection by Girodroux & Delpy, this sofa sits alongside the Straight Backrest variant, the two pieces offering contrasting gestural interpretations of the low-sofa form. The asymmetric configuration and the spherical bolster give this version a more informal, lounge-like character within the collection's formal vocabulary.
Laure Girodroux and Louis-Henri Delpy established their Paris studio in 2013, working across interior architecture and furniture design. Their practice sits at the intersection of architectural rigour and artisanal precision, drawing from the decorative arts of the 1950s to 1980s, from Jean Royere's biomorphic forms to Andree Putman's sober modernism.
