Celebrating 20 years since its creation, the Jasper Sofa from King Living is now more iconic than ever
Good Furniture Ages Like Fine Wine

Looking at how perfectly King Living’s Jasper Sofa fits into our modern homes, one would think it’s a brand new launch, not more than a couple of years old. In fact, however, the Australian brand first launched the sofa back in 2003, a whopping 20 years ago.

How the sofa has managed to remain such a bestseller even as trends have drastically changed is the key to its charm, exuding a timeless elegance that surpasses any temporary fads. While it has been lightly modified and updated to offer added flexibility and comfort, it has stayed true to its original purpose over the years: offering seamless modularity and unparalleled adaptability, no matter what life throws at you.
