Answer Hello Felix,
Thanks for sending me the photo link on the sofa. I believe that this style sofa is the type that comes apart in 3 sections. All 3 parts sit on a rail like frame and are bolted to it. If this is true about the sofa, then each piece can be moved through the door separately then assembled once inside. I suggest that you contact the furniture dealer and ask them that question because you are concerned with delivery.
