Studio—Custom Sofas & Lounge

Custom Sofas,
sized to the room, sewn for the coast.

Sectionals cut to your wall, sofas low enough to keep the sea view, lounge chairs that face the sunset. Performance fabrics that shrug off sunscreen, salt air and a rental’s eighth guest — built in Quintana Roo and delivered to Playa del Carmen.

No. 01 — Sectionals

Custom sectionals cut to the wall and the view.

Templated to your exact wall and window line, so the chaise faces the sea, not the kitchen.

  • Fabrics Performance linen · bouclé · outdoor-rated

No. 02 — Sofas

Sofas that keep the room low and the view open.

On the coast, a sofa back is the thing between you and the horizon. Ours sit low — 70 to 78 cm — with plinth or timber bases that lift the piece off the floor and let the tile run under. Sized to your room, not to a container.

  • Back height 70 – 78 cm

No. 04 — Ottomans & Hanging Chairs

Ottomans, rope daybeds and hanging chairs — the seats people fight over.

The extra seat that isn’t a chair. Rope poufs that double as tables, a hanging rattan chair for the corner nobody used, leather slings for the reading nook. Light, movable, photographable — the details that show up in five-star reviews.

  • Ottomans Ø 60 – 100 cm
  • Hanging chairs Ceiling or stand
  • Outdoor-rated Rope and rattan pieces

No. 05 — Rugs & Textiles

Rugs that finish the floor and survive the sand.

Tile is cool and easy; a rug is what makes it a living room. Natural jute for salt-air rooms, hand-woven Maya wool for pattern and warmth, vintage-wash pieces for the den. Sized to your seating group — front legs on, not floating.

No. 7Fabrics & Frames

Fabrics that survive sunscreen, salt air and August.

Performance Linen

Looks like linen, cleans like a countertop. Solution-dyed, fade-resistant, the default for every sofa we make.

Bouclé

Texture and depth without weight. Performance-grade weaves only — the ones that don’t pill.

Full-Grain Leather

Ages into the room. Sunscreen and sea salt only add to it — the den and reading chair material.

Rattan & Rope

Breathes in humidity, dries in an hour. Solution-dyed marine rope for anything outside.

Tzalam Frames

Kiln-dried, doweled and glued — the frame that doesn’t creak in year three.

—How It Works

How a custom sofa or sectional is built.

Frames, foam and fabric chosen for a coastal climate and a rental turnover — and sized to fit up your staircase.

ch10 05 — measure the room and the route01

Measure the room and the route

We measure the wall the sofa sits against and the corridor, lift and stair it has to travel through. Sectionals are sized in modules that will actually make the turn.

ch06 01 — choose frame, foam and fabric02

Choose frame, foam and fabric

Kiln-dried hardwood frame, high-resilience foam, and a performance weave that takes sunscreen and salt. You sit on the samples before you commit.

Sewn and upholstered here

Cut, sewn and upholstered locally. Covers are made removable where the piece is going into a rental, because they will need washing.

tulum rooftop dining — delivered and assembled04

Delivered and assembled

Carried in, assembled in the room, cushions plumped and packaging taken away. If a module will not fit, we knew that at step one.

FAQ

Custom sofas — questions, answered.

How much does a custom sofa or sectional cost?

A three-seat sofa in performance linen and a 400 cm sectional with a chaise are different projects. Send us the room dimensions and a photo and we quote it in writing — delivered, installed and with the fabric swatches in your hand first.

Which fabric survives sunscreen, sweat and salt air?

Solution-dyed performance linen or performance bouclé. The colour is in the fibre, not on it, so it doesn’t fade in a glass-walled room, and spills bead rather than soak. We use it on every rental sofa we make.

Can you get a sectional up a condo staircase?

Yes. We measure the stairwell and door swings before we build, and design the sectional in sections that turn the corner. Nothing gets craned; nothing gets left in the lobby.

Will the cushions hold up in a vacation rental?

We build two densities: feather-wrapped for owner homes, high-resilience foam for rentals that see a new family every week. Both keep their shape; the second keeps it under abuse.

How long does a custom sofa take?

Every commission gets a written schedule at design sign-off — frame, upholstery, finish, install. If you are closing soon, we start from the plan so it arrives with the keys.

Do you deliver and install in Playa del Carmen?

Always, with our own crew, and it is included in the quote. Placed, levelled, cushions fluffed, packaging gone.

Can I see the sofa in my room first?

Upload a photo of your living room to the Concept Lab and see it styled in five directions — then we work from the one you like.

Can you match a sofa I already own?

Often. Send photographs and the dimensions and we will tell you honestly whether we can match the frame and the fabric or only get close. Where we cannot match it, we design a piece that sits beside it rather than fighting it.
