Sofas & Sectionals
Gus* Modern is known and loved for a wide range of modern and affordable sofas and sectionals––here are a few of our favorites.
The Beaconsfield Sofa blends of timeless elegance and contemporary finesse. Its tuxedo-style frame is wrapped with blind-tufted leather upholstery in three distinct vintage leather options.
The Augusta Sofa and Bi-Sectional are meticulously designed with Modernist influences. The reversible seat and back cushions are finished with a beautiful French seam detail. We love the thoughtful metal detail that finishes the solid wood legs.
Jane 2 is a mid-century inspired design with modern touches featuring inset wood base in walnut or ash. Featuring a variety of upholstery options, this sofa and sectional series is perfect for smaller spaces while still maximizing comfort.
Silverlake is an upholstery collection that embodies Scandinavian design influences, striking an elegant balance between minimalist aesthetics and a welcoming, relaxed ambiance. Its slender tuxedo frame and plush seat and back cushions create a comfortable seating experience. We especially love the XL Sectional and the U-Shaped Sectional.
Sofabeds
Sofabeds are the perfect furniture solution for small apartments that could use an extra resting place for occasional guests. Gus* Modern designed thoughtful options that offer optimum comfort in sofa and in bed form!
True to its name, the Gus* Modern Flipside Sofabed effortlessly converts into a queen-sized bed with a simple flip. Flipside offers sink-in comfort thanks to the use of luxurious synthetic-down fill. The loosely arranged back cushions are structured yet comfortable, perfect for a multi-use living space.
Named after the Japanese word neru, which means “to sleep or lie down,” the Neru Sofabed offers extreme comfort in both sofa and bed form. When in sofa form, feather-filled reversible back cushions and integrated bolsters are perfect for relaxing all day long. Use the easy-pull fabric handles concealed on the backside of the seat cushions to convert it to a bed, which folds out like origami.
Modular Sofas
Modular sofas are a super functional way to configure a lounge seating area with plenty of room to mix it up as your needs evolve.

The powder-coated steel Fulton Lounge Chair perfectly balances comfort and support. We love how the side cushions can be removed for a different look and feel
The Wyatt Sling Chair blends thoughtful design with raw materials to showcase an original chair concept engineered for comfort. The vegetable-tanned leather sling is both sculptural and inviting, supported by a black metal frame with solid wood armrests. Gus* Modern uses age-old techniques and chemical-free, eco-friendly, vegetable-based dyes to create a soft, lived in leather that cradles the body. Within the first six months to a year, expect the leather to darken from a light tan to a rich caramel, developing a rich patina over time.
The Labrador Chair and Ottoman is a Scandinavian-inspired accent chair with a light and calming expression. The chair uses natural materials like solid ash and hand-stitched leather, stripping elements down to their essential forms. Adjust the chair's removable headrest with the clever leather and wood counterweight to tailor the seat to your optimal comfort.

Delicate joinery details, including seamless wedged tenon joints in the tabletop and finger joint accents in the legs, add a touch of understated charm to these refined accent pieces.
Inspired by the organic and geometric formation of crystals, the Facet End Tables are sculptural masterpieces that function as both an accent table and a stool. Each table has a distinctive shape crafted with precision-cut panels which delicately reflect the light. Facet’s minimal silhouette works beautifully as a standalone statement or styled in a striking group.

The Callisto Table Lamp is a compact and sculptural lamp that illuminates with just a touch of the integrated dimmer switch. The large sculptural translucent glass globe masks glare while playfully contrasting the sleek marble resin base. Callisto works beautifully on an open shelving system (such as Branch), as a bedside light, or in a cozy reading corner.
The Tandem lighting series combines the streamlined aesthetic of industrial design with practical ethos. Tandem comes in a white or black powder-coated finish with a coordinating marble base. Rotate and tilt each lamp switch to direct light exactly where you need it, when you need it.
The Milton series celebrates the beauty of wood with a shade made from a natural ash veneer. We especially love the ambiance of the Milton Pendant Lamp to define a dining space or greet guests in a foyer.
Textiles

Made from recycled plastic bottles, the Construct Rug is both indoor and outdoor friendly. A distinct bold and graphic pattern is similarly replicated on each side of the rug, allowing you to flip the rug over to mix up the look.
