L-shaped sofas usually have a minum of 3 seats - but here's one with only 2. It's small, cute and comfortable (despite its size). And you can stretch out your feet on the island.

If you like minimalism and nature, then this is idea for you. The seat is very comfortable; the backrest, perhaps a little less so (but this can be solved with using cushions). Small, but still beautiful.
