Koinor Hiero Three-seater, Fabric Grey

Koinor Hiero – sofa with adjustable backrests

Hiero is a sofa range from Koinor built around adjustable comfort. The backrests can be tilted in several stages using a ratchet fitting. On high-back elements, the headrest can also be adjusted. The cushions are chamber-quilted with a loose filling of foam sticks, feathers or a mix of both; Koinor offers them in relaxed, extra relaxed or extra soft. All elements are also covered on the back in the upholstery material. Hiero is made in Germany.

Hiero three-seater in grey fabric

This Hiero is a three-seater upholstered in grey fabric. At 236 cm wide, it corresponds to the range’s 3-seater with a standard-height back. Three people can sit side by side here, and you adjust the backrests to suit your posture. Grey is a calm colour that goes with wood, light walls and coloured cushions. The sofa suits a living room where people read, talk and watch television.

Seating comfort and space

Hiero is soft to sit on: the chambers with their loose filling give way, and the softer the upholstery, the deeper you sink in. Depending on the backrest position, the seat depth ranges from just under 60 to just under 70 cm, while the seat height of 43 cm is within the usual range. The sofa needs around 2.4 m along the wall and is just under 0.9 m deep when upright. Allow a little clearance at the back for the tilted backrest. Leave 60 to 80 cm of walking space in front of it.

Functions and additions

The backrests lock into several stages via a ratchet fitting and, according to specialist retailers, can be tilted separately. This increases the seat depth by up to about 11 cm and the overall depth by up to about 23 cm. As an option, Koinor offers a motorised footrest with sensor buttons on the armrest. The series includes 2-, 2.5- and 3-seaters, loungers, corners, a footstool bench and a jumbo footstool; these can be added through specialist retailers.

Caring for the fabric cover

Vacuum the fabric regularly with the upholstery nozzle, including along the seams of the chamber quilting. Plump up the cushions now and then so that the loose filling stays evenly distributed. Dab fresh stains with a damp, light-coloured cloth rather than rubbing them. Direct sunlight and nearby radiators cause fabric to fade. For a deep clean, a professional upholstery cleaner is the right choice.

Why buy a pre-owned Koinor Hiero?

Koinor is based in Michelau in Upper Franconia and makes upholstered furniture ‘Made in Germany’, combining craftsmanship with modern design. Hiero shows this with adjustable backrests, chamber-quilted cushions and a back that is covered on the reverse too; the sofa can therefore be placed freestanding in the room. As Koinor still makes the series, footstools and elements can be added later. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
