The details: As a newish purveyor of earth-friendly furnishings, Sabai has been creating made-to-order furniture from nontoxic, sustainable materials since 2019. Their environmentally conscious ethos further extends to a repair program offering replacement parts—from slipcovers to armrests—and buyback programs so that pieces can evolve with you rather than end up languishing on the curb. Plus, you don’t sacrifice style for sustainability. With an array of eye-catching colorways, fabrics, and modern silhouettes, their offerings can anchor living rooms across many aesthetics, from midcentury modern to eclectic styles.

Ordering Process
Price: How much does it cost? Are there payment plans available?
The five-seat sectional sofa is priced at $3,095 for both the recycled velvet and upcycled poly upholstery options. If you have more room to work with, Sabai offers six- and seven-seater versions for $3,295 and $3,695, respectively. Three to 24 month payment plans are available through Klarna with varying interest rates. Sabai is also currently running an Earth Month sale, with savings of $125 off $500 or more, $300 off $1,500 or more, and $600 off $3,000 or more.
What are the upholstery or customization options? Did you choose any?
All of Sabai’s fabrics meet specific environmental certifications—Global Recycled Standard, Oeko-Tex, GreenGuard Gold, the list goes on—but that prerequisite far from stifles your design options. The essential silhouette is available in nine rich colors of the recycled velvet and five swatches of the upcycled poly. You’re able to customize down to the small details as well, from leg color to loveseat vs individual seat cushions, neither at any extra cost.
Possibly influenced by the earth tone resurgence in this year’s color trends, I’ve been brown-pilled in my decor lately—my duvet cover, throw pillows, and clothing can all attest! There’s something comforting about browns, particularly deeper tones, that really grounds a space in a larger item, so I was immediately drawn to the chocolate color of Sabai’s recycled velvet upholstery.
What is the lead time for customization, manufacturing, and delivery?
Given everything is made to order, the lead time at Sabai is fairly quick. The majority of their offerings are shipped within two to five weeks for just about everything they offer (a few pieces fall in the three to eight week range).
