The Cross: Custom Couch Collection

Couch potato jokes aside, we take our sofas very seriously.

That’s why we appreciate the large selection of sofas and chairs designed by The Cross. These custom pieces, designed in-house using hand-selected fabrics, are perfect for sitting, laying and even napping in style, and take just six to eight weeks to complete (trust us, in the world of furniture, that’s speedier than most). Though you can get what you like (the company’s in-store designers are more than happy to lend a hand), we’re partial to the Joseph ($2465, pictured) with its button tufting and masculine shape. Best part? The sofas are all made in Vancouver and have extensive warranties on frame, foam and springs.

Translation: these sitters will stand the test of time. —Alexandra Suhner Isenberg
