Here is a product that could have made our recent article called, Sofas: 15 of the Most Amazing Modern Designs. At times I like to imagine my living room being transformed from a place of design to one of comfort. When it comes down to it as humans we need to relax and have restorative time away from our jobs and other stresses in life. Loft is a reclining sectional sofa from Arketipo furniture that has concealed its secret - that it can be comfortable as well. The low profile creates a wonderful visual in a living room. In no way does it appear to be "overstuffed" or "oversized". Thus, you have the cool look and then have the flexibility to recline and relax for your restorative time. There are numerous fabric and leather options available. The Arketipo website can be found here.

Here is to the "ultimate" in sofas, the most used piece of furniture in every home. Furniture Fashion has reviewed some outstanding modern sofa designs from the world's foremost designers, as well as first timers including prototypes that may one day become reality. We know these modern styles are probably not for everyone but they sure are fun to look at and possibly inspirational to your interior design plans. Enjoy!!
The first of our sofas is rather unconventional in style and shape sporting a square design that works well in a pair. The Nurus 4U from Ece Selamoglu and Oguz Yalim is a seating unit that is perfect for common areas and uses geometry as its core theme in its design and visual appeal. This most unusual seating system offers a height adjustable backrest and was presented at Orgatec Colonia this year.

Sure the name "futon" has been used a lot to describe an easily converted sofa sleeper, but as you would expect from Ligne Roset, the Everynight has a certain style you won't find ordinary. I really like the continuous styling of the three sections that designer Didier Gomez incorporated into this "small space" yet ample sized sofa sleeper that would be right at home in a loft or studio apartment. The seat and back (metal-framed, with slats) are linked together by a mechanism which offers three positions, horizontal, intermediate, and upright. A thermo-compressed foam sheet is supplied to protect the seat when unfolded on the ground. Sleep area: 63'' x 84 1/2'', offering a quality and firmness perfect for a good sleep Everynight. Find a Ligne Roset dealer and see the rest of their contemporary and modern furniture here. Appx $6-7000 depending on upholstery.

4U takes the traditional shape of a square and molds it into a functional seating area. The custom sofa uses geometry as its core theme in its design and visual appeal. The backrest forms angles that add to the mystique of the piece and at the same time create its cool look. 4U could work in a modern home, but is a better fit in a lobby or large seating area. Via.

Here is one of the most interesting modern sofas I have seen in a while from the Swedish design team of Martin Claesson, Eero Kolvisto, and Ola Rune. The eye-catching Pebbles Sofa release from Cappellini of Italy, lives up to their tradition of cutting edge ultra modern furniture that manages to defy trends. The Pebbles Sofa features an optional backrest that floats and swivels above the base of metal padded in multi-density polyurethane foam, covered in a bi-elastic fabric with feet and swivel mechanism in chromed metal.
