Cheap Modern DeskI received an email form a Diana who needs our help. I know all of you out there are very resourceful so let’s help a fellow modernist out. Diana has included a pic, hopefully when she finds her sectional we will get to see pictures of the whole house, it looks amazing.
We recently redid our home south of San Francisco. We did a modern home in a not modern neighborhood or city so definitely ground breaking for our town. We are really pleased with the result and it has been interesting to see people’s reactions when they come for a visit - “wow, this is really different, but I like it!” Anyway, back to my question. We have an empty living room except for two Swedish modern lounge chairs I got off of Craigslist. I am looking for a comfortable/functional, modern sectional sofa. I feel like I have looked most places - CB2, EQ, West Elm aren’t quite the quality I am looking for but DRW etc. are too pricey.

Cagatay Goksel: Feb 12 09 at 12:02 pmRoom and Board - Chelsea sectional is my recommendation. I have it in my house. It is very comfortable and looks modern. You can arrange the configuration.
mrbrush: Feb 12 09 at 1:09 pmTake a look at Fjords / Hjellegjerde. Super comfortable, it might be expensive. I saw them here in Hungary and fell in love with them.

BRANO: Feb 12 09 at 1:09 pmyour best furniture choice. they are in europe however. they sell many top furniture brands products. ship all around the world.
Sunshine Raye: Feb 12 09 at 1:49 pmIsn’t there a BoConcept store in SF? Have you checked to see if they have a “scratch and dent” section?
BRANO: Feb 12 09 at 2:46 pmif you want to go cheaper way, try ikeas kramfor sectional. same as with chelsea, configuration is up to you
Sunshine Raye: Feb 12 09 at 4:10 pmAnother thought is costco.com, they have sectionals.
Richard: Feb 12 09 at 4:49 pmI’ll strongly recommend Room and Board. I’ve got quite a few pieces from them and they’ve all been of exceptional quality. It’s not “cheap” in any sense of the word, but it’s certainly a good buy for the money.
Benjy: Feb 13 09 at 10:39 amAnother vote for Room & Board for couches that are modern but fall between CB2/Ikea and DWR in terms of price…
Nancy: Feb 13 09 at 1:26 pmCheck out a company out of Vancouver called Bombast. We got two beautiful scandinavian style couches. They also sell sectionals. You can choose depth of sofas, cushion interiors, feet, as well as fabrics. We love them! They are on the pricier side (depending on the fabric you select) around $4200. They are extremely well made and super comfortable.

EJENS: Feb 14 09 at 11:15 pmCheck out the sectionals at Scandinavian Designs. They are perfect for what you are looking for. I don’t know where they are located in the Bay area, only know of the one in Roseville, CA. They have very appropriate designs, and you get to order from the hundreds of fabric styles and choices they offer. I recommend.
nbourbaki: Feb 15 09 at 3:42 pmI would strongly suggest you consider viesso.com in santa monica.

Tyler: Feb 15 09 at 7:04 pmNBOURBAKI, nice find with viesso.com, love how you can layout the sectional on the site.

I got these of CL and shaped them in a question mark setup since i didnt want to change my 300lb coffee table. It is good quality and a dream to relax on.
Anywho not too pricey and quite unique for the price.
