This was obviously a thing pre-TV... you might even say it's the intended/correct way to arrange furniture
Not entirely? This is a random picture (of Chatsworth), but the idea is that sofas face each other so you can have a conversation, rather than everyone looking in the same direction.
The centre of the circle there is the rug not the chimney breast.
