When it comes to awesome design and great leather selection, Natuzzi of Italy is second to none and has been the world's leader for many years. The Nicolaus sofa series is one of my favorites in not only look and feel, but versatility as well. The construction is geared for luxury with over sized arms, lower lumbar support, pleated sides, and a ratchet headrest that allows you to kick back and lounge on what was once a sleek low profile sofa. The Nicolaus is available in an electric model in which the self adjusting headrest works jointly with the seat that slips out about six inches to create a pseudo recliner. The motion takes place by placing your hand over the sensor built into the side of the arm nicely tucked away out of sight. For those wanting a nice expansive sofa sectional, your possibilities are limited only by space and imagination.

I recently had the pleasure to visit the Natuzzi head quarters in High Point North Carolina and see the awesome collection for 2008. Among the products in a beautiful three story showroom was the Dallas sofa series that stood out in what was an overall gorgeous collection. The Natuzzi Dallas sofa features thick deep pleated arm rests, removable headrests, and a firm yet comfortable seat. I was really impressed with the low transitional style of the Dallas that would allow it to find a home in a modern or transitional décor. You can see the entire new collection at Natuzzi, and keep your eye on all the coffee tables, lamps, and living room accessories which are all part of their line up.

Dutch manufacturer Artifort has made a strong impression on the modern furniture scene over the past few years and here are a few of my favorite sofa picks, I hope you enjoy them. The First is the Bono designed by Diplomat, a UK firm that is a modern interpretation of the classic domestic box sofa with signature slots in the seating area and a small scale making it a good fit for any space $4000 80.7" L 31.5" W 28.3" H seat 15.75"H Bird, the second sofa by acclaimed designer Michiel van der Kley is a completely organic and monolithic form that becomes more inviting as you look at it's many shapes and angles. $3800 75.6"L 33.1"D 29.1"H seat: 17.5"H Finally the Ondo sofa exemplifies the Artifort heritage with a touch of European ergonomics that lend a sophisticated and comfortable feel. A minimal frame gives the illusion of a floating seat and back that delicately form very smooth flowing lines that look great from all sides. $4200 88.5" L 27.5"H 30" D seat: 15.75" H Available Here

If you want to move away from traditional sofa shapes like rectangular or L-Shaped, then consider going round. A round sofa can add a new dimension in your living room design by tying together your home decor differently or concentrating on a single point in decorating. Here is Le Tigre made by German furniture manufacturer W Schillig featuring a fresh color, soft leather, and aluminum legs. The W Schillig website is a bit difficult to get quick information, but you can find the link here.
