Questions About For The Sofa
- Why is it called a sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Why it is called a sofa is due to the history of the term. Sofa originated from the Arabic word soffa, which describes a low seat covered with plush pillows.

Find a wide variety of sofas on 1stDibs.
- What is a Dune sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024A Dune sofa is not a particular type of sofa.
