How 696 NYC Curates Tableware That Tells a Story
A Transitional Take on Timeless Design
The best furniture blends seamlessly into your life — and your home — without ever fading into the background. Archie achieves that delicate balance with a design language that’s both transitional and timeless. Its gently curved arms invite you in, offering softness and approachability, while the sculpted back detail and carved wooden legs add a layer of refinement that feels right at home in both classic and contemporary interiors.
The result is a piece that looks as good as it feels — equally suited to hosting a lively evening with friends or curling up with a good book on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
Comfort You’ll Never Want to Leave
Of course, beauty is only half the story. At BenchMade Modern, every design decision starts with one question: How does it feel? Archie answers that question with a resounding like a dream.
The collection features a built-in comfort pitch, a subtle but deliberate angle in the seat and backrest that ensures natural, ergonomic support and a relaxed posture. It’s the kind of sofa that doesn’t just look inviting — it keeps you there, long after you planned to get up.
Whether you’re stretched out for a weekend movie marathon, gathered with loved ones for a long conversation, or sneaking in an afternoon nap, Archie delivers the kind of comfort that quickly becomes your home’s favorite spot.
Made to Order, Made for You
One of the things that sets BenchMade Modern apart is its belief that furniture should be tailored to the way you live — not the other way around. Archie takes that philosophy to heart with a level of customization you won’t find from mass-produced brands.
Every piece is handcrafted to order in the USA, built by skilled artisans who care as much about the details as you do. The collection offers custom sizing in 5-inch increments, so you can design a sofa or sectional that fits your space like it was built into the room. Whether you’re outfitting a cozy apartment living room or anchoring a spacious great room, Archie adapts to your needs with precision and style.
The customization doesn’t stop there. Choose from over 125 fabric and leather options, including high-performance textiles that stand up to everyday life, sumptuous velvets that add a touch of drama, and luxurious Italian leathers that age beautifully over time. And because the legs are a defining detail of Archie’s look, you can select between natural or walnut wood finishes to perfectly complement your space.
It’s not just furniture — it’s your furniture.
A Collection Designed for Real Life
Archie isn’t a single piece — it’s a complete collection, thoughtfully designed to give you flexibility in how you style your space. Alongside its signature sofas and sectionals, the line also includes a curved ottoman that mirrors Archie’s distinctive profile. Use it as a footrest, an extra seat, or a soft landing spot for a tray of drinks — its versatility is as appealing as its sculptural beauty.
And because every home (and every family) is different, the Archie collection offers multiple configurations to suit your lifestyle. From classic three-seaters and sprawling L-shaped sectionals to compact love seats and tailored modular designs, there’s an Archie for every space and every way you live.
A Commitment to Craftsmanship
BenchMade Modern has always stood for more than beautiful design. At its core, the brand is about craftsmanship, quality, and care — values that are deeply woven into every detail of the Archie collection.
Each piece is bench-built, one at a time, by talented craftspeople who combine traditional techniques with modern precision. It’s an approach that ensures not just durability but a level of finish and feel that mass-produced furniture can’t replicate. From the precision-cut frames to the hand-stitched seams, Archie is a celebration of the art of making — and of the people who make it.
And because everything is built to order domestically, you’re not just getting a sofa faster — you’re also supporting local craftsmanship and reducing the environmental impact associated with overseas manufacturing and mass inventory.
Where Style Meets Substance
In many ways, Archie is the perfect distillation of what BenchMade Modern does best: it merges design and comfort, craftsmanship and customization, beauty and practicality. It’s furniture that doesn’t compromise — and doesn’t ask you to either.
This is a collection that feels as good as it looks, fits as beautifully as it performs, and will age gracefully alongside the life you build around it. It’s a piece that anchors your living space — and becomes part of the memories you make there.
The Sofa You’ll Build a Life Around
At the end of the day, the best furniture is about more than wood, fabric, and craftsmanship. It’s about the everyday moments it holds: the laughter of a dinner party, the comfort of a lazy morning coffee, the warmth of a family movie night. Archie is designed for those moments — built to last through them, to elevate them, and to make them even more meaningful.
With its elegant silhouette, extraordinary comfort, and endless customization options, Archie is more than a new collection — it’s an invitation. An invitation to reimagine your space, to invest in quality that endures, and to create a home that’s every bit as personal and welcoming as you are.
