Does this sofa know all your secrets?

If it’s wrong to allow yourself a little indiscretion at a party, why do some of the most interesting pieces you can have at home make it so easy?

Consider the Art Deco double-seat Gossip chair, which consisted of two upholstered seats facing each other, joined in the middle by an S-shaped edge. Or the conversation pit, popular in the mid-20th century among the likes of architect Paul Rudolph. It required reclining chairs to sit below floor level and emphasized intimacy.

Seasoned hosts know that a soiree is boring without a little bad behavior, and RH’s revamped Modern Sourcebook offers a wealth of furniture options to help keep your guests comfortable and chatting afterward.

One look at your social feeds will confirm that 20th century modernism is back in style, and the ghosts of style icons can be seen in the collection: Vladimir Kagan, Arne Jacobsen and Mario Bellini, to name a few. A little gossip has never sounded better.
