The Woud Collar Open End Left redefines what modular seating can be by taking the basic concept of a sectional and making it actually comfortable enough that you'd choose to lounge on it for hours. Designer Meike Harde figured out how to make those typically awkward askew back cushions work by turning them into this continuous "collar" that wraps around from the arm into the backrest - hence the name. The delta-shaped sides aren't just for looks; they cradle the memory foam cushioning at this wide angle that encourages sprawling out rather than sitting upright. The mint Harald 823 fabric from Kvadrat gives it this soft, sophisticated color that works with both warm and cool palettes without being too aggressive or pastel-sweet.

What makes this piece particularly smart is how the 69.7-inch length gives you genuine stretching-out room while the 15.7-inch seat height keeps it low enough for that lounge-y feel without making it impossible to get up gracefully. The memory foam responds to how you actually sit and move, so whether you're curling up with a book or having a conversation, it adapts rather than forcing you into one position. The metal sectional snaps mean you can connect it to other Collar modules if your space changes, but it works perfectly on its own as a sophisticated chaise that doesn't scream "bachelor pad" or "dorm room." The FSC certification tells you the wood components come from responsibly managed forests, which matters more as people pay attention to where their furniture actually comes from.

Woud continues building this reputation for working with designers who understand that good furniture should enhance how people actually relax rather than just looking impressive in showrooms. Their collaboration with Meike Harde reflects this focus on textile expertise and structural intelligence - her background in reimagining familiar materials shows in how the Collar collection feels both innovative and comfortable rather than sacrificing one for the other. The brand's modular approach recognizes that people's living situations change, so investing in pieces that can adapt and reconfigure makes more sense than buying fixed furniture that might not work in your next space.
