Kool bespoke sofa — French chic with a nomadic spirit

There is something about the Kool sofa that defies the usual classifications. It is not a classic sofa — too free-spirited for that. Nor is it a bohemian sofa in the romantic sense of the word — too structured, too considered. It is something in between: the elegance of French chic and the rigour of fine proportions, touched with a nomadic spirit from far afield — born of travel, eclecticism and the conviviality of homes with a story to tell.

At Bérengère Leroy, Kool is the design that reconciles opposites. It is for those who love interiors with a distinct identity — neither too restrained nor too exuberant — and seek a piece of furniture worthy of that ambition.

Made bespoke in our Saint-Rémy-de-Provence workshop, fully removable-cover and customisable down to the finest detail, Kool is a creation made to last because it is designed to evolve with you.

Kool: a silhouette, an identity

The line: contemporary and timeless

The Kool sofa stands out for its more contemporary silhouette compared with the other designs in the collection. Its line is horizontal and taut, with seat and back heights carefully calibrated to create a slender profile that sits naturally in spaces where architecture takes centre stage — with large windows, high ceilings and open volumes.

This is not a sofa that seeks to fill a space. It belongs in it — with precision and intention, never asserting its presence too strongly.

The nomadic spirit: a distinctive identity

The spirit that runs through Kool is that of the nomadic world — a byword for travel, eclecticism and conviviality. This is no superficial decorative reference: it is a principle of composition. An interior shaped by Kool embraces mixed styles, layered elements and objects from elsewhere. It is not fixed in one style — it is open to life.

That is why Kool works just as well in a carefully decorated Parisian apartment as in a holiday home furnished over time with finds from travels. It is the sofa for people with stories to tell.

The technical features of Kool

Fully removable covers

The Kool sofa is one of the few designs in the collection to be fully removable-cover. Seat cushions, back cushions and the frame covering — all covers are removable and washable. This is a considerable advantage over the long term: the sofa stays fresh and well cared for, and can even be re-covered in a new fabric years after purchase to give it a new lease of life.

High-resilience dual-density foam

The Kool seat cushion is made from dual-density high-resilience foam — a technical foam combining two different densities to provide both a comfortable welcome and lasting support. Unlike standard foams, which flatten with use, high-resilience foam retains its shape and cushioning properties over time. This is a considered manufacturing choice that you will notice from the very first sit and appreciate after years of daily use.

The bespoke sofa cover: a softer welcome

As an option, a bespoke sofa cover can be added to the seat to provide an extra layer of softness — a kind of seat topper that transforms the feel of the sofa without changing its structure. This is a particularly popular option for everyday use or for those who prefer a softer seat.

Couture finishes: Kool’s distinctive signature

One of the Kool’s most distinctive features within the Bérengère Leroy collection is its exclusive couture finishes which give each cushion a strong textile signature.

Available finishes

Piping — fine piping that runs along the seams, in a contrasting or matching fabric. This is the most discreet finish, with the most tailored feel.

Edge-to-edge — two different fabrics joined edge to edge on the same cushion, creating a crisp, graphic contrast.

Apache — a geometric finish inspired by Native American textiles, enhancing the model’s nomadic spirit.

Cheyenne — in the same vein as Apache, with different proportions and a different pattern. These two finishes are the most emblematic of Kool’s identity.

Tribal — a denser, more graphic pattern for interiors that fully embrace eclecticism.

These finishes are available in a range of fabric and colour combinations. Our advisers can help you choose during a showroom visit or remotely.

Fabrics for Kool

Washed linen

In washed linen, Kool takes on a natural, relaxed character that softens its contemporary silhouette. Natural shades — ecru beige, greige and off-white — give it a lightness particularly suited to bright spaces and interiors that celebrate raw materials. To explore this fabric, visit our page bespoke fabric sofas in Paris.

Washed velvet

In velvet, Kool takes on an entirely different dimension — bolder, more present and more urban. In deep shades such as midnight blue, grey-green or plum, it becomes the centrepiece of an interior that embraces colour and texture.

More fabrics to choose from

Our palette of fabrics includes other fabrics suited to Kool — textured cottons, blends and fabrics with a pronounced weave — available to view in our showroom or on request as samples.

Which interiors bring out the best in Kool?

The contemporary apartment with large windows

Kool’s low, horizontal silhouette is made for spaces filled with light. Facing a large picture window or in an apartment with double-height ceilings, it sits effortlessly — its slender line does not compete with the architecture’s verticality, but complements it.

The industrial loft

In a space with exposed metalwork, polished concrete and bare brick, Kool brings the warmth of textiles and softness of texture these interiors lack. Its nomadic character speaks to the industrial aesthetic without betraying it — this is a sofa that has travelled, and it shows.

The eclectic interior

For those who mix styles, eras and origins in their interiors, Kool is a natural ally. Its Apache or Tribal couture finishes are made for interiors that embrace eclecticism — alongside a Berber rug, an aged brass coffee table and a bookcase filled with mementoes from travels.

The home with a garden or terrace

Kool’s fully removable covers make it particularly well suited to homes where inside and outside flow into one another — where children come and go, and dinners spill from the sitting room onto the terrace. The covers can be removed, washed and put back in place. The sofa stays beautiful.
