I love the Festival settee from Designers Guild but there's no way I could go to London and haul one back. They currently have no distributors in the US. Does anyone know of something similar?

Designers Guild sucks you in with their ads, don't they? Here's a great alternative from Arhaus that also happens to have eco-friendly soy based seating material:-)

This might be stretching it, and it's more of a fainting couch, but it's a great price!

They have a similar looking one at CB2. It's called the Briar love seat. Here's the link

finn juhl poeten sofa is similar.
Hi, the Poet Sofa is similar - I really want one. If you can manage to find an original and get it recovered, that would be very similar (although probably very expensive.) Otherwise they are being manufactured again, but they are still very expensive. I was just quoted £3,600 for one (not sure what that is in dollars, the exchange rate is going crazy!) and I'm not sure if they ship to the US. I've just written all the information I have found here:

I've also just discovered that Jonathan Adler do beautiful small buttoned sofas. They aren't exactly the same as what you are looking for, but they are gorgeous.
