Mid-Century & Scandinavian made in Nepal

This is the shape that arrives on a phone. Younger buyers in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Butwal now research sofas on Instagram and TikTok for weeks before they walk into a single showroom, and what they arrive with is almost always the same silhouette: low back, tight seat, thin arms, wooden legs splayed outward at an angle.

It photographs beautifully, and that is not a frivolous reason to buy it. But it is also, genuinely, the right shape for the flats being built in Nepal today. Raised splayed legs let you see the floor underneath a sofa, and a room where the floor is visible reads noticeably larger. At 200 centimetres long and only 80 to 85 deep, both RP City Mid and RP City Nord fit a 2BHK living room without crowding the path to the kitchen.

The two models differ in temperature. RP City Mid is the warmer, more graphic one — mustard or rust structured weave, walnut or natural sal legs splayed at twelve degrees, optional buttoned back. RP City Nord is the quiet one — cream or oatmeal boucle, tapered light-finish legs, and a 72 centimetre back that keeps sightlines open in a small dark room. Of everything we make, the Nord is the sofa that changes how big a small flat feels.

Two honest cautions. First, a light frame section is only safe in fully seasoned timber; an unseasoned light frame will move in its first monsoon and the whole appeal of these shapes is the clean line. Only properly seasoned sal goes into these models. Second, a tight back and a 34-density seat make a supportive, upright sofa, not a sink-into-it one. If your evenings are horizontal, look at the Lawson instead — we would rather lose the sale than sell you the wrong posture.
