What’s new: Montana Furniture’s Paradigm sofa

Montana Furniture’s Paradigm is a generous statement piece that captivates not only with its comfort but also with its remarkable versatility.

Who doesn’t love a little lounging, lazing, and lingering every now and then? Montana Furniture’s modular Paradigm sofa is designed for all the ways you love to relax, setting the stage for a new chapter of comfort.

NAPPING, NESTING, and daydreaming. If these sound like your idea of bliss, you've come to the right place!

Just added to our collection, the Paradigm sofa by Montana Furniture is a true design classic of comfort, giving lounging an entirely new meaning.

The timeless sofa was designed by Danish designer Erik Rasmussen.

Paradigm is made up of modules that can be combined, separated, and rearranged to create a sofa that suits your style perfectly. You can even upholster each module in a different fabric if you wish!

First introduced in 1969 as the Paustian Modular Sofa, Erik Rasmussen’s iconic design has now been reimagined – and renamed – by Montana for today’s homes. Updated with refined proportions and modern features, the sofa retains its timeless character while meeting contemporary needs.

With its clean geometry and streamlined silhouette, Paradigm is something of a chameleon in the world of sofas, effortlessly adapting to any space or setting. Composed of versatile modules, it feels just as at home in a living room as it does in a hotel lobby, a contemporary office, or a laid-back lounge area.

The modules are equipped with connectors that help keep the sofa firmly in place.

If you prefer, you can also remove the connectors, making it easier to rearrange the different sections.

Removable covers add to the Paradigm sofa’s versatility: they can be easily taken off for cleaning or replaced with new ones, even one module at a time. This way, the sofa adapts to the changes in your life while keeping its look fresh year after year.

The ultimate lounging experience is crowned by a sturdy pouffe, serving not only as a footrest but also as a temporary side table or an extra seat when needed.
