The MILLE ET UNE NUIT sofa — an introduction to a signature piece

MILLE ET UNE NUIT is no ordinary sofa. The moment you see it, it commands a presence, an atmosphere. Its low, enveloping silhouette evokes oriental salons, generous living spaces and interiors that invite you to slow down. It is a piece that sets the tone for an entire room.

A piece in Tsar ecru beige washed velvet

This version of MILLE ET UNE NUIT is made in  Tsar ecru beige washed velvet, a fabric whose washing treatment gives it a gently patinated, soft and natural appearance. Ecru beige is one of the collection’s most versatile colours: it works just as well in a light, pared-back interior as in a setting rich in textures and colour. It plays with the light without ever dominating.

Washed velvet is distinguished from other velvets by its natural drape and incomparable feel. Its texture invites you to sit down, curl up and linger. It ages beautifully and acquires added character over time.

Black velvet piping — the signature finish

The black piping bordering this sofa is far more than a detail: it structures the whole and gives the piece its character. This fine trim, stitched along the contours of MILLE ET UNE NUIT, creates an elegant contrast with the ecru beige body. It accentuates the sofa’s lines without making them rigid, adding graphic precision that contrasts with the piece’s overall softness.

This combination of ecru beige and black piping is one of the collection’s most requested compositions. It works with almost every interior style: bohemian, classic, contemporary, maximalist or minimalist.

The long-skirt version — the detail that changes everything

Delivery is  long-skirt version  of MILLE ET UNE NUIT is the most enveloping variation of the model. The skirt falls to the floor from the base of the sofa, completely concealing the frame and giving the piece the appearance of a divan or drawing-room chaise longue. This version comes closest to the model’s original oriental spirit, and is often the one that makes the strongest visual impact in a space.

The sofa cover and accessories — for a complete composition

One of the distinctive features of the MILLE ET UNE NUIT sofa is its ability to take a  sofa cover, a true removable second skin that transforms the look of the sofa to suit your mood or the seasons.

The Tsar Losange curry velvet sofa cover

This piece is dressed with a  Tsar Losange curry velvet, a fabric worked in diamond quilting that adds texture and volume. The curry shade — warm, spiced and Mediterranean — creates a vibrant contrast with the ecru beige body. The two tones are combined in a way that is both surprising and perfectly harmonious: they evoke the colour palettes of Berber rugs, souk cushions and textiles from around the world.

The sofa cover is removable and washable. It can be changed with the seasons or whenever you want a refresh, considerably extending the sofa’s perceived lifespan and allowing the space to evolve without further investment.

Matching cushions — the finishing touch

Two cushions  30 × 50 cm in Tsar Losange velvet  complete the composition. They use exactly the same fabric as the sofa cover, creating perfect visual harmony between the different elements of the ensemble. This elongated size is ideal for dressing the armrests or enhancing back support.

The cushions can be ordered with the sofa or added at a later date. You can also choose cushions in a different fabric to create further contrasts.
