EQ3 has introduced a modular sofa, enabling customers to customize their seating.

TORONTO — EQ3, a designer, manufacturer and retailer of premium furniture and home goods, has launched its Form modular sofa.

According to the company, a single “platform” can take the shape of a sofa, chairs connected with an ottoman, a chaise or a daybed. In addition, sofas or large-scale sectionals can be mirrored or reconfigured by removing or placing arms and backs which are held together with a specifically engineered bracket system. Customers can create the varied configurations once they order the various pieces, providing flexibility in their seating arrangements.

“The flexibility aims to make Form adaptable to changing circumstances, whether related to function or space,” said Enri Tielmann, EQ3’s chief design officer.

According to the company, it chose to design a modular sofa like Form to be in alignment with EQ3’s goal to create long-lasting furniture. Modular furniture allows a piece to grow with the customer as their spatial needs change, making it versatile and giving it the ability to stand the test of time in function and design, according to EQ3.

Form is available in any EQ3 custom fabrics or leather, and the metal legs come in two options: anthracite and polished aluminum. Cushions and seating are filled with multiple layers of foam and a memory foam and feather comfort layer.

For fabric custom upholstery, the delivery is in six to eight weeks. For leather, the lead times are between eight and 10 weeks. These are produced in EQ3’s manufacturing facilities in Winnipeg, Canada.

The Form sofas are available in stores and on the company’s website. Prices start at the Form two-seater (loveseat) for $2799.
