The Woud Collar 3-seater gets its name from how the continuous back cushion wraps around you like a soft collar when you sink into it - designer Meike Harde wanted that feeling of being gently embraced rather than just sitting on furniture. The voluminous curves and deliberately askew back cushions create this contemporary take on classic sofa design that somehow feels both substantial and welcoming. What's clever about the proportions is how those delta-shaped side supports cradle the cushions at wide angles, encouraging you to really sprawl out and get comfortable rather than sitting primly upright. The memory foam responds to your body in that satisfying way where you feel genuinely supported, and the low 40cm seat height makes it easy to curl up or stretch out however feels natural.

The FSC-certified plywood frame and quality construction mean this thing will handle years of daily lounging without developing sags or loose joints. The slender black metal legs keep the visual weight light despite the generous cushioning, and the modular design lets you combine it with other Collar pieces if your space or needs change over time. Being made-to-order in your choice of fabric means you get exactly the color and texture that works with your space, whether you go with something neutral or make it the statement piece in the room. The Lithuanian manufacturing shows in details like precise stitching and consistent foam density that holds up to real use rather than just looking good in the showroom.

Woud emerged from Mia and Torben Koed's decision to challenge themselves after decades in furniture manufacturing, and their collaboration with Cologne-based designer Meike Harde reflects this commitment to creating seating that enhances how people actually relax and gather. The brand focuses on that essential simplicity of Nordic design while pushing beyond traditional forms to create pieces that work with contemporary lifestyles. Their approach to the Collar series shows this philosophy perfectly - taking the fundamental need for comfortable seating and developing it into something that becomes the natural center of social spaces where people genuinely want to spend time.
