Here is a cool new sofa and chair series from Keilhauer designed by Oksana Ulisko that will make its public debut at NeoCon Chicago in June 2008. The Mabru series brings a fresh, organic approach to the traditional lounge configuration of the typical sofa and chair. Oksana's design was inspired by the landscape of the plains, with their gentle forms that dip and roll into each other emphasizing the form and smooth lines of the furniture. Mabru comprises a roomy, three-seater sofa, and an elegant slipper chair with a full deep seat cushion. The clean mature look free of ornament makes it suitable for corporate reception areas, and just as appropriate in residential settings.

I'm fairly confident that if I had the Jane Worthington DS 152 Sofa I would never have to get up again. This sofa / over sized chair is more than big enough to fit two people on it's unique oval bucket design, and it looks like one of the most comfortable seats you could possibly find with it's heavily upholstered build. But what's most appealing about this piece is the two optional side attachments. The DS-152 shows a more playful side of De Sede which is known for extremely high end and very mature contemporary furniture.
You can order the Jane Worthington DS 152 Sofa with a flat-screen monitor so you never have to leave this wonderfully comfortable sofa. Imagine, I could be blogging to you from the comforts of that chair, my laptop gently resting on the side table while watching Ninja Warrior on the attached TV. All it needs is a refrigerator and I'd have little to no reason to ever get up.If you've decided that this is the perfect place to spend some real quality time, you can pick it up at any De Sede authorized retailer. 193W 71H 156D cm

When two name like Cassina and Jean Marie Massaud team up the results are bound to be impressive, and more than likely very contemporary. The Aspen opposing sofas work well together as a long sleek single seating surface, or as individual chaise lounges. Cassina's Aspen collection includes an end table suspended on a center cylinder that blends into the side of the sofa in a very smooth transition. The sofa comes in 180 and 260cm lengths and delicately floats on two feet that remind me of ice skate blades. Here Aspen is combined with another Massaud design, the Auklund lounge chair and ottoman shown in black leather, for a most stunning modern statement.

Here is a really fun and light futon sleeper sofa from Innovation that is perfect for anywhere there is a need to sit, sleep, or both. The "Wing" is right at home in a modern environment from the living room to a spare bedroom. The back of the Wing works on a ratchet system and can be fixed in several positions from upright to flat with minimal effort. In addition both ends of the seating surface also adjust in the same way giving a cool look to the sofa or head support when lying down, hence the name. A supple leather look vinyl gives the appearance and feel of leather without the maintenance or high price. Appx. $600 US
When you think of a "futon", you get visions of a wooden frame and a puffy cushion in a generic, usually unattractive fabric. Innovation has a different idea of the futon convertible sofa bed that makes much more sense for a dressy "non dorm room" environment. The Innovations line of up to date models has a crisp clean look that easily unfolds to make sleeping surface in one easy step with nothing to lift or detach. The set shown here even has a fold down chair that makes the sofa sleeper into a small L shape sectional perfect for serious lounging at a very reasonable price. Innovations leather look and micro fiber coverings offer care free cost effective upholstery that will take years of use.
