Pumela studio — the Togo silhouette at home

We make one sofa,
very seriously.

A small studio devoted to the soft, pleated, low-slung silhouette — the shape that ate the floor and then ate the room. We build it 98% faithful, in full-grain materials, by hand.

One form. Many homes.Chair, loveseat, three-seater, corner — build to the inch.

How this started

Two years of refusing to settle.

Pumela began the way most quiet studios do — with a couch we couldn't stop thinking about, and a polite no from every shortcut we were offered.

We wanted the soft, sectional, sit-on-the-floor feeling of the early-1970s silhouette — built honestly: full-grain hides, real density foam, workshop-stitched pleats. Not foam slabs in a polyester wrap. Not a print-out catalogue knockoff. Not a flatpack box with eight hours of homework inside.

So we made it ourselves. The first prototype lived in a friend's apartment for ten months. We changed the back-cushion fold nine times. We argued about thread color for a week.

When we finally felt right about the piece, we made a second one. Then a fifth. Then enough that we needed a workshop. Pumela is what came out of that — small, slow, and very particular about what leaves the building. About 98% of the way to the brief, on a good week.

What the studio runs on

Four rules we don't bend.

Craft, then everything else.

Each piece passes through roughly forty pairs of hands. The pleats, the stitches, the cushion fold — none of it is automated, and none of it is rushed.

Materials that earn patina.

Full-grain leather and the same fabric spec we keep reaching for on the originals. No downgrade grades. Things that look better at year five than year one.

Ready to live with.

No flatpack, no allen key. Every module ships as one finished piece, set down by the courier, and sat on the same afternoon.

We pick up the phone.

A real person on chat, email, or phone — twenty-four hours a day. Plus a 5-year limited warranty we honor without making you read fine print.
