Elias Sofas
The Elias Sofa is a modular collection that allows you to arrange the sofa in various configurations to fit your space and lifestyle.

What makes Elias different compared to Isaac would be the curved and angled chaise modules. These sofa units make a statement piece with their unique shapes, allow for more seating area, and are great for spaces with irregular shapes.
Furthermore, unlike Isaac’s removable back cushions, Elias has fitted back cushions, which give a more refined look and feel. Elias also has a seating depth of 22.4 inches, which is slightly slimmer compared to Isaac.
