Hancock & Moore Architects Sofa
Hi,
My husband and I like the Hancock and Moore architect sofa. The sofa width is 101" so instead of a second sofa, we thought we buy side chairs.
I'm not sure what type of side chair would look good with this sofa so I was hoping someone would give us some suggestions.
Here is the sofa:
Thank you!

15 days agoI'm not a fan of the arm height or all the nailhead trim on the sofa you like. For that reason, I think whatever chairs you select must be simple in their design to not compete with the sofa.
Any of these other H&M sofas would be preferable. But it's just an opinion.
If I were looking for a sofa with a tall arm height I would select one of these with a bench seat.

What room is this going in?
I only ask, as couches are a bit like a Christmas tree, and they always seem to grow when you get them in the house.

Comments (2)Furniture forum is a great site. We had a similar experience to yours. My wife fell in love with our son's power recliner, power sofa, power love seat, and wanted one. So I said okay. After many tryouts, we realized that they are only comfortable when you reclined. Not good for straight seating. We constantly get on and off to take our dog out, the fridge, etc. We wound up with a traditional sofa and ottoman, and chair from Stickley. If I knew about the City Sofa, I probably would have gone that way. I made a good choice, but the City is a winner. Duane Collie often recommends that sofa....See MoreHancock and Moore Sofa
Comments (1)You will love HM's quality. We just purchased a sofa and a recliner. The sofa is in place but the chair has not been delivered yet. The sofa that we purchased was one of their bigger styles. The leather was a grade three burnished leather and the nail head trim has stamped buffalos on it so it was on the high side. The other sofa we were considering would have run about 2000 less but DH fell in love with this sofa and just had to have it. I think their prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality of workmanship....See MoreHancock & Moore Leather Sofa Deal - Should I?
Comments (23)Thank you all so much for the advice and information. I think you're right that I really need to sit down and think about this purchase more, rather than just jumping in feet first because of the "good deal". It sounds like if I like it enough to be the largest thing in the space, it will work with what I have and it will be a great quality piece. But, if I find myself doing this for the deal, then maybe I should reconsider and look elsewhere. Thank you, my3dogs for the pictures of the H&M September sofa in a darker color. I have to say, I'm liking the style a lot more seeing it in the darker color. Though I do still have similar concerns about the "heaviness" of the sofa. Wow, runninginplace, that's a really lovely sofa. I thought Thomasville was on par cost-wise with H&M. Maybe I need to do more searching locally to see exactly what is available and what I can find on sale. That's a great point about the fact that I'm considering the "life" of the sofa in my house....See MoreHancock and Moore - Oscar Sofa
Comments (2)Perhaps you should contact H & M and inquire about dealers within a certain number of miles to the Charlotte area. Here is a link to their contact us page. Companies like Classic leather and Leathercraft offer reclining sofas if you are unable to find H & M locally. Both of these manufactures are also considered to be high end leather furniture manufactures....See More

15 days agoCan you show us pics of the room it is going in, say more about your style, the look of the space? Other colors? You can go in so many different directions with this sofa.
Do you want leather or fabric? Neutral, black, or other colors? Something rounded to contrast the chunkiness or another hefty square type chair? An ottoman?
This Room and Board Bram chair comes in many leather colors, different leg finish options, with or without ottoman.

15 days agoI will attach a picture of our livingroom. When we do or sofas they will be in leather, in a chocolate brown. We are all tall in our family, so seat depth is important. I like making our room comfy and cozy. The architect sofa is completly different from anything we've owned. We currently have two Hancock and Moore September sofas, bought them 20 yrs ago. We like traditional furniture with a little contempory look too. I like other more, such as the Rugy, but it has a slightly tilted back and I'm not sure how that would feel sitting on it. I am open to all comments!

15 days agolast modified: 15 days agoIn a casual search I couldn't find a picture of anyone actually sitting on this sofa. AI added this man to your pic so I don't know how accurate the scale is. Bringing the arm so far up from what you are used to might be a surprise for you in terms of comfort. I have to have the ability to lay down occasionally on my sofas so the arm would be a problem for me.
