Types of Couches #10 (Lawson)

It comes in many varieties, the only requirements there are to being a Lawson sofa are a squarish back and arms at a lower level than the back. (so it would be a tuxedo type couch if the arms were the same height as the back)

The original version was created for a rich Boston financier named Thomas W. Lawson (1857-1925).  Lawson had some rather scandalous escapades and was rather daring in his financial exploits and at one time ended up selling all of the furniture and his estate to pay off his debts. (from ehow.com)
