Modern Design That Replaces Bulky Volume

Incorporating Feedback from Field Tests with 200 Customers

Premium Mattress Springs and Memory Foam for Enhanced Comfort

Hanssem announced on September 18 that it has launched two new recliner sofa models—‘Timeless’ and ‘Nove’—that embody the company’s advanced technology and expertise in recliner sofas.


Hanssem was the first domestic interior brand to introduce an electric recliner sofa in Korea in 2013. Drawing on the technical know-how accumulated since then, the new products focus on maximizing seating comfort and design. The company conducted field tests with 200 customers and carefully analyzed their feedback to incorporate it into the product development process.

The two new models exclude the bulky volume and rough seams characteristic of conventional recliners, adopting a minimalistic design. They also reflect the highly preferred low-back design trend among customers.


The signature sofa ‘Timeless’ features a clean, horizontal line that stretches all the way to the bottom of the armrest, eliminating vertical seams. This model includes a low pillow-type armrest designed to comfortably support the head and neck, functioning like a cushion so users can lie down and relax. The sofa is available in two colors—red bean and white—both suitable for warm-toned interiors.


‘Nove’ is characterized by its streamlined, modern silhouette. The design utilizes double piping, a style seen in high-end international brands, which extends to the edges of the armrests. For enhanced seating comfort, it comes with an integrated lumbar cushion that is seamlessly connected to the backrest, gently and securely supporting the lower back. Available colors include dove gray and white.

Both models feature premium natural bull leather measuring 1.6–1.8mm thick, sourced from Italy's PelleMilano, as well as water-based, environmentally certified dyes. This combination further enhances the sense of luxury in both color and design.


To maximize seating comfort, the Timeless and Nove integrate gradation pocket springs (commonly used in high-end mattresses) together with high-density memory foam. This delivers a ‘medium-soft’ seat feel that gently embraces the user’s body upon sitting, yet provides solid support at the edges. The seat height has been optimized for the standard Korean physique.


The sofas are designed for convenient home use, featuring a ‘floating leg’ structure that provides a 10cm ground clearance, allowing robot vacuums to pass underneath freely. The ‘zero-wall hardware’ ensures that the seats do not extend backward during reclining, so the sofa can be installed flush against the wall—maximizing use of space.


For seamless use of electronic devices, both sofas come standard with the latest C-type and A-type charging ports. An independent dual-motor system enables fine adjustment of both the headrest and seat cushion, allowing users to find the most comfortable posture for relaxation.



A Hanssem representative stated, “Timeless and Nove represent a core lineup that brings together Hanssem’s long-accumulated technology and expertise as the first domestic interior brand to introduce electric recliner sofas. Their minimal design, strictly verified quality, and seating comfort optimized for Korean body types will offer an unparalleled relaxation experience and create a stylish, sophisticated atmosphere in any living room.”
