Our modular sofa range lets you build exactly the configuration your space needs an L-shape for an open-plan lounge, a U-shape for a family room that needs maximum seating, or a chaise extension for a space with a wall that cries out for a long horizontal line. At cintesi, our modular range is designed for both homes and commercial environments: configurable, well-made, and available nationwide
Open plan living has become the norm in Kiwi homes, and a modular sofa is one of the best tools for defining a lounge area without walls or dividers. Designed with flexibility in mind, your pieces can be arranged in a semi circle for socialising, or pushed together for one mega sofa bed for movie watching.
Flexibility: Unlike a fixed sofa, a modular can be reconfigured as your space or needs change. Move house, and your sofa moves with you in a new layout. Redecorate, and shift your sofa sections to suit.
Scale without compromise: A modular sofa can fill a large room with seating without looking like a single overwhelming piece of furniture. The visual separation of individual modules keeps proportions feeling considered rather than imposing.
Commercial adaptability: For hospitality spaces, waiting room areas, and hotel lobbies, modular sofas allow operators to reconfigure seating layouts for different events, occupancy, or venues without buying new furniture.
Modular sofas are sold in sections that connect together. Understanding the common configuration types will help you choose the right layout for your space.
L-Shape (Corner Sofa): The most popular configuration. An L-shape creates a natural lounge zone in an open-plan space and works particularly well in corner positions or against two walls. Position the long arm of the L along your main wall with the shorter arm extending into the room.
U-Shape: Create a fully enclosed seating zone, excellent for family rooms where you want everyone facing inward, or for commercial lounge areas designed for socialising.
Chaise: A sofa with a chaise extension offers longer seating along one end perfect for stretching out. Popular under window sills in bedrooms, reading rooms, and hotel suites where a full corner is too much but a standard sofa is not quite enough.
Ottomans: Add an ottoman at one end, creating a versatile piece that can double as extra seating or a footrest or faux chaise depending on the occasion.

What is a modular sofa?
A modular sofa is made up of individual sections typically a seat module, an arm module, a corner module, and sometimes an armless chaise or ottoman that sit together to create a complete configuration. Unlike a fixed sofa, the modules can be rearranged or added to over time.
What size room do I need for a modular sofa?
An L-shaped modular typically requires a room of at least 4m x 3.5m to sit comfortably with an adequate walk around allowance. Smaller L-shapes can work in compact open-plan apartments if positioned carefully. A U-shape or large sectional generally needs a room of 5m x 4m or more. Our team can advise on the best configuration for your specific dimensions.
Are your modular sofas fit for commercial use?
Our modular configurations are widely used in hospitality, workplace, and commercial environments precisely because of their durability. The ability to reconfigure the layout without replacing the furniture is a significant advantage for venues that change over time.
Can I add to my modular sofa later?
Many of our modular systems are designed to be expandable. Contact us with the specific model you own and we can advise on available add-on modules and current stock.
