Oyster Corner Sofa

Design

The Oyster Corner sofa from Capital carries a calm, contemporary confidence. Designed by Luca Scacchetti for the 2014 collection, it works with smooth, flowing lines rather than sharp angles, giving a generous corner shape that feels welcoming rather than imposing. At about 164.6 inches wide and 124 inches deep, it has a substantial footprint, yet the proportions stay balanced and considered. The silhouette is clean, the volumes are clear, and the result is a corner sofa that sits easily in both modern and more classic interiors.

Nothing feels accidental. The curvature of the arms, the way the corner draws the eye, the overall low, horizontal stance – all these details help the Oyster Corner read as one continuous form. It doesn’t shout for attention, but it does quietly command it once seen in the room.

Materials & Build

The sofa is upholstered in soft, high-quality Italian leather, chosen for its touch and its natural character. Textiles are also available, as are metal details, giving the piece a clear material language: leather or fabric for warmth, metal for a subtle architectural edge. At around 463 pounds, the sofa has real presence and feels solid, not flimsy.

Finishing options in metals, fabrics, and leather allow the Oyster Corner to be tuned to different interiors, from lighter, relaxed palettes to darker, more formal settings. But regardless of the combination, the materials are handled with the careful, understated approach expected from Capital.

Comfort

Comfort is immediate. The seat is set at about 17.7 inches high, which feels natural for everyday lounging, while arms around 26.4 inches give support without boxing the sitter in. The corner section creates a natural place to lean back, stretch out, and settle in for longer conversations or quiet evenings.

The proportions of depth and back height are chosen to encourage relaxed, informal postures. It is a sofa that invites people to stay, not just perch. And that sense of enveloping comfort is exactly what defines the Oyster Corner experience.

Placement & Lifestyle

With its generous dimensions and volume of about 232 cubic feet, the Oyster Corner is made for larger living areas, open-plan spaces, and social rooms where seating becomes the center of the layout. It works well as a main architectural element, defining a lounge zone and giving clear direction to the rest of the furnishings.

In a residential setting, it naturally anchors family life and relaxed entertaining. In more formal or hospitality spaces, it brings a composed, contemporary character without feeling overly stiff. The design has enough presence to stand alone, yet it also pairs easily with understated tables, soft lighting, and quiet textures around it.

Longevity

The Oyster Corner sofa is built with long-term use in mind, both visually and physically. The Italian leather or carefully selected fabrics age with character rather than quickly dating, while the overall form avoids short-lived trends. Even though it was created in 2014, the lines still feel current, which speaks to the restraint in the design.

As with many pieces from Capital, this is a sofa intended to stay in place for years, not seasons. The generous structure, the weight, and the considered proportions come together to create a piece that remains relevant as interiors evolve around it.
