Mid century modern reclining sofa design blends the iconic style of the 1950s and 60s with the comfort of contemporary reclining functionality. These pieces honor timeless silhouettes—low profiles, tapered wooden legs, and tailored upholstery—while discreet reclining features add a layer of everyday luxury.
A mid century modern leather reclining sofa offers durability and elegance, perfect for anchoring a refined living room. For a softer touch, fabric options in boucle, linen, or velvet bring warmth and texture. Some designs even extend into reclining sectional sofas, offering generous seating while staying true to mid-century proportions.
Defined by clean lines and ergonomic comfort, these sofas merge heritage aesthetics with modern convenience. Reclining mechanisms are engineered for seamless use, ensuring function never disrupts the sofa’s sculptural profile.
Each mid century modern reclining sofa in this collection is built with integrity: kiln-dried hardwood frames, hand-stitched upholstery, and cushions designed to balance support with softness. Many are exclusive collaborations curated by The Oblist, sourced from boutique studios and celebrated designers who elevate mid-century design with modern innovation.
It’s the best of both worlds—iconic mid-century charm, with the ease of modern reclining comfort.
