Everyone Had One In The '60s, Now It's The Couch We Want In Our Homes

While minimal, mid-century modern furniture has been popular for the past decade, we love to see the design world embracing the era's more unique and innovative aspects. The 1960s comes to mind in particular, with its conversation pits, psychedelic artwork, and futuristic furniture designs. Take, for example, the Canadian-made corner sofa with a hidden bar that's the perfect unique addition, especially if you want to effortlessly add vintage decor into your modern home.

These vintage 1960s corner sectionals are sought after for their retrofuturistic design, vibrant colors, and low profiles. The Ontario-made '60s modular sectional features hidden storage with a built-in corner bar/lazy Susan and some have extra compartments in the armrest. There are also designs with built-in end tables or extended ledges to leave a drink. Various dealers have pictured the sofas in an array of hues, from mustard yellow to lime green. Plus, you might also spot models with reversible couch cushions that reveal a different color or pattern for whenever you're in the mood to change up the seat styles. Perfect for a big party or a large family, this do-it-all design is ready to host a crowd.

With certain seating trends from the 1960s making a comeback, this Canadian corner sectional can complement a lot of contemporary looks. However, getting your hands on one of these coveted styles can be tricky work. Dealers report these items are not found often and are highly sought-after when available. They may turn up at auctions, and it's possible to find options online through retailers like Chairish and 1stDibs, though they'll probably be priced into the thousands, which is on par with other vintage sectionals on these sites.

If you're looking to score the 1960s price too, keep your eyes peeled for any vintage mid-century sofas when shopping secondhand. It's also the kind of furniture you should check out at estate sales. One of the best ways to find a piece is to follow antique, particularly mid-century modern, dealers in your area. Let them know what you're looking for so they can alert you before putting a piece on the floor. Sofa enthusiasts can also find luck with an "ISO" (in search of) post on social media or forum sites, which can unveil commenters who may have a piece hidden in their basement. And don't forget, always stop for yard sales.
