The Inheritance Sofa by Stephen Kenn is an [ultra-minimalist piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-pawson-and-herman-miller) for the home that maintains a comfortable aesthetic without detracting from the overall look of the space.

Made to order from the company in its Los Angeles studio, the sofa comes in two or three seat options and consists of [ultra-plush cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebulone-sofa) that sit atop of a skeletal steel frame. The cushions will undulate when sat on thanks to a series of durable straps across the back and sides, which also works to give the furniture piece a [deconstructed look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-collection).

The Inheritance Sofa by Stephen Kenn comes in black leather, gray wool and military canvas finish options to make it a high-end solution that's suitable for any modern living space.
