A more tailored look.
Start with Mags if you like a clean, defined shape. High arms frame your place to sit; low arms open the sides to the room. The original family has a 40 cm seat height.

Mags.
One family.
Your way of living.
Crisp or softly rounded. High arms or low. Fixed upholstery or a removable cover. Get to know Mags, then find the version that feels like you.
A little guidance from kin.
Begin with the way
you live.
A quiet evening with a book. Everyone round at the weekend. Start with the look you love and how you like to sit; the combination and fabric can follow.
For settling in.
Look at Mags Soft if you are drawn to rounded edges and a more relaxed silhouette. It sits lower and is deeper than original Mags. Choose high arms for a framed outline, or low arms for a more open side.
Thinking further ahead? The dedicated removable-cover version is worth exploring if replacing the upholstery later matters to you.

Reference configurations and upholstery are shown. Armrest style, seating feel and cover system are separate choices; a fabric colour does not identify the version.
02 / Build around your room
A sofa is only
the beginning.
Start with a ready-made combination, or ask us to help plan the modules. The wider HAY range includes options beyond the pieces currently listed online at kin.
Straight sofas
A contained, easy-to-plan footprint. Start with a straight combination, then compare the full width and depth for your chosen version.
Chaise combinations
An extended seat for putting your feet up. Choose the side and the exact chaise module to suit the room, rather than the photograph.
Corners & modular plans
Turn a corner, add seats or plan a larger arrangement using the modules for the chosen series. Ask us to check combinations not listed online.
Know your left from your right.
Left and right describe specific configurations. Use the HAY drawing for the exact combination, rather than guessing from a room photograph. Send us your floor plan and we can help confirm the orientation and specification before you order.
Keep the chosen version in your specification throughout. Do not assume that modules or replacement covers interchange between Mags, Mags Soft and removable-cover versions.
03 / Same name. Different proportions.
Measure the sofa.
Not the seat count.
A 2.5-seater Mags and a 2.5-seater Mags Soft are not the same size. These straight Combination 1 examples give you a useful starting point.
| Straight Combination 1 | Mags / Mags Low Armrest | Mags Soft / Soft Low / removable cover |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5-seater width | 228 | 238 |
| 3-seater width | 268.5 | 278.5 |
| Overall depth | 95.5 | 103.5 |
| Overall height | 67 | 67 |
| Seat height | 40 | 37 |
Compare straight Combination 1 only. Chaise, corner and other combinations have different footprints; the same combination number is not a universal size across versions. Always confirm the current HAY drawing for the exact model.
Mark out the footprint.
Use tape to plot the full width and depth, including any chaise or corner. Leave space for doors, tables and the routes you walk every day.
Think beyond the room.
Check doors, stairs, lifts and turns on the delivery route. Modular construction does not mean every piece will fit through every opening.
Keep a clear specification.
Record the version, combination or module codes, orientation, fabric and colour. We can help pull those choices into one order.
04 / Make it feel like home
The same shape.
A new character.
Texture, colour and stitching can make Mags feel very different. Start with the look you like, then check the fabrics offered for your exact version. The current choices and prices are on each product page.
Explore HAY fabrics & samplesWhat does removable cover mean?
The dedicated Mags Soft Low Armrest Removable Cover version uses covers secured with Velcro, designed to be removed and reattached without tools.
This is a version to specify from the start, rather than an assumption about any Mags sofa. Check replacement-cover suitability with us. Removable does not automatically mean machine-washable: follow the care instructions for the chosen fabric and supplied cover.
And stitching?
Mags Soft has visible stitched detailing, with choices depending on the upholstery and version. The removable-cover series uses tonal stitching. Confirm the full fabric and stitch specification before ordering.

Before you choose
A few useful answers.
Is Mags Soft just a fabric option?
No. It is a different construction and expression, with rounded edges and a duvet layer. It is also deeper and has a lower seat than original Mags. Choose the sofa version before choosing upholstery.
Does low armrest mean a lower seat?
Low armrest describes the arms. Original Mags and Mags Low Armrest share the catalogue’s 40 cm seat height; Mags Soft versions have a 37 cm seat height.
Can I order something that is not listed online?
Ask us. This guide explains the wider family, while the shopping links show our current online edit. We can check current modules, upholstery and ordering options for the configuration you want.
Can I mix modules from different Mags versions?
Do not assume they are interchangeable. Send us the version and module references you have, or the layout you want, so we can check the exact specification with HAY.
Can I see fabrics before deciding?
Explore our HAY fabric library and sample service. Check suitability for the chosen Mags version, then look at samples in your room’s daylight and evening light.
