Koala Living has expanded its Riviera Modular Sofa collection from 6 to 25 colourways, with new options including bouclé, genuine leather, woven fabric, and chenille. The announcement on 21 October 2026 follows the opening of pre-orders for the updated range on 24 September 2026.
Why it matters
The expanded range provides customers with greater interior design flexibility and personalization options for their homes. Additionally, the introduction of separately available, washable covers allows owners to refresh or replace upholstery without needing to purchase an entire sofa.
The Riviera range now features 25 colourways across four material types, including the newly added bouclé, available through 24 showrooms nationwide. The furniture pieces remain covered by a 10-year warranty on internal frame manufacturing defects.
