Bespoke Bohème Sofa — Relaxed luxury by Bérengère Leroy

Some sofas furnish a living room. Others define it. The Bohème sofa belongs to the latter category. Its soft silhouette, balanced proportions and natural affinity with the materials that dress it make it a piece that makes its presence felt without trying too hard — with the quiet elegance of interiors that know exactly what they are.

At Bérengère Leroy, the Bohème is much more than a design: it is a philosophy of living space. One that makes no choice between comfort and refinement. One that embraces the mix — raw materials and delicate finishes, modern lines and organic generosity. A sofa that adapts as readily to a Parisian flat as to a Provençal bastide, a seaside home or a contemporary loft.

And, like all creations from the Maison, it is made bespoke in our workshop in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, to the nearest centimetre.

The Bohème: a design, an identity

The silhouette: soft yet distinctive

The Bohème sofa is recognisable by its organic, gently rounded lines, which contrast with sofas with a highly geometric structure. Its low, curved armrests, flowing backrest and slender feet — everything in its silhouette suggests lightness and relaxation, without ever becoming shapeless.

This interplay between structure and softness gives it its character. The Bohème is not a soft, yielding sofa — it offers support, but expresses it with grace rather than rigidity.

The seat: generous and carefully calibrated

The Bohème has a deep seat — deep enough to settle in properly, with your legs tucked up or stretched out, without feeling off balance. The seat cushions are chosen for their density, to provide lasting support without losing their shape over time. This is one of the details our artisans pay particular attention to during manufacture.

The feet: a detail that changes everything

The Bohème’s slender feet are no incidental detail. They lighten the piece visually, leave the floor clear and create a sense of space beneath the sofa — especially valuable in flats with limited floor area. In oiled oak or a lacquered finish, according to your preference, they play a full part in the design’s character.

The Bohème’s materials: naturally authentic

Washed linen, the Bohème’s signature material

The Bohème comes naturally into its own in washed linen, the signature material of the Bérengère Leroy Maison. Its subtly irregular texture, soft feel and natural shades — beige, ecru, greige, sand and off-white — work perfectly with the design’s organic lines.

Washed linen ages alongside the Bohème, developing a patina that enhances its character over the years. It is a living material that changes with use and light, making each piece increasingly unique over time.

Velvet for a more striking Bohème

The Bohème in washed velvet reveals another side of the design — more distinctive and more present in the space. In muted shades such as terracotta, sage, dusty rose or plum, velvet enhances the Bohème’s artisanal warmth while lending it a visual depth that linen cannot offer.

It is the choice for interiors that embrace colour and texture, and where the sofa is intended to be a true anchor in the room. To explore this direction, visit our page bespoke velvet sofas in Paris.

More fabrics to choose from

Beyond linen and velvet, other materials from our selection can upholster the Bohème — textured cottons, linen-cotton blends and fabrics with a pronounced weave. Our catalogue of fabrics can be viewed in our showroom or by requesting samples to be sent to your home.

Which interiors bring out the best in the Bohème?

The Parisian flat

In a Haussmann-era living room, the Bohème in washed linen balances the ornate architecture with furniture that feels light and airy. Its slender feet leave the parquet visible, its natural shades complement the wood panelling, and its soft lines temper the verticality of rooms with high ceilings. It is a Parisian sofa at heart — elegant without ostentation. For a complete project in Paris, visit our page bespoke sofas in Paris.

The Provençal home

Bastide, mas or renovated village house — Provençal interiors provide a natural setting for the Bohème. Its natural materials echo the stone and lime plaster, while its warm shades harmonise with the South’s golden light. In washed linen or velvet in earthy tones, it settles into these spaces as if it had always been there.

The contemporary loft

In an open-plan space with generous proportions, the Bohème brings softness to steel and concrete. Its organic lines contrast with the industrial architecture without contradicting it — a counterpoint, not an opposition. In velvet in a deep shade, it creates a sensory anchor that gives the space visual structure without dividing it.

The seaside home

Washed linen is the perfect material for coastal interiors — it breathes, tolerates the relative humidity of the sea air, and its natural shades resonate with sand, bleached wood and the low-angled light on west-facing façades. The Bohème in linen feels entirely at home in a coastal interior.

Bespoke: what can be customised on the Bohème

Each Bohème is made bespoke in our workshop in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. This means you can choose:

The dimensions — length, seat depth, backrest height and clearance from the floor. The design adapts to your space, not the other way around. A narrow alcove, a square living room or a corner layout — there is an answer for every constraint.

Configuration — straight, corner or with a chaise longue. The Bohème can take different forms to suit the geometry of your room and the way you use it.

The fabric and colour — choose from our selection of washed linen, washed velvet and other natural materials. Samples can be sent to your home on request.

The feet — oiled oak, white lacquer, black lacquer or another finish on request.

The cushions — number, density and dimensions of the back and seat cushions.
