This Sofa Rewrites the Rules of Modular Living
With sculptural curves, real comfort and remarkable flexibility, the Aura Sofa proves modular design can be both sophisticated and smart
Plenty of modular sofas promise adaptability, but few manage to pair it with real design presence. Yet, the Aura Sofa by King Living does exactly that—balancing a contemporary form with the kind of engineering that makes it feel as good as it looks.
At first glance, Aura’s continuous curves and low profile read as one seamless gesture. On closer inspection, it’s a system of modules that click together—corner, chaise, ottoman—each one proportioned to look intentional on its own or as part of a larger composition. Whether you’re working with a compact condo or a generous open-plan room, the sofa adapts without losing its cohesive aesthetic.
That adaptability is backed by serious engineering. Built on King Living’s proprietary steel frame, the Aura comes with a 25-year warranty and the brand’s Postureflex suspension system. Paired with pocket springs, the sit is both plush and supportive: you don’t perch or sink, you simply settle into place. It’s a rare balance of comfort that holds up through long movie nights or casual gatherings.
Visually, Aura is contemporary without tipping into novelty. Rounded arms and sculpted backs soften its modern lines, while generous cushions invite lounging. It’s a sofa that can anchor a minimalist room or blend seamlessly into a layered interior. Another thoughtful details is its removable tailored covers. Beyond making upkeep easy, this allows owners to refresh or reupholster modules years later—extending the sofa’s life and reducing waste. That’s a sustainable approach in a market where many designs are built for obsolescence.
And then there’s the value. The combination of modularity, custom upholstery, and long-lasting construction usually comes with a prohibitive price tag. King’s vertically integrated model—designing, building, and retailing in-house—keeps Aura at a surprisingly accessible level, positioning it as a true investment piece.
Toronto’s design-conscious can now experience this firsthand. With the brand’s first local showroom open in the Castlefield Design District, the Aura is one of many designs King Living is bringing to the city. Sitting in it confirms the impression: this is modular seating that’s sculptural, comfortable, and designed to last.
In short, Aura is proof that a sofa can be practical without being pedestrian—and that modular furniture can carry the grace of timeless design.
