What a great sectional for your media room. It’s available in a number of different fabrics and colors, and made in Canada.

So, this isn’t exactly something you might buy on a whim, (due to the unwieldly size and price tag) but it’s a pretty great piece if you have the space for it. It’s upholstered in leather and has two independently articulated movements on each of the four sections. This creates the ability to create a very configurable seating arrangement.

I am in love with this chair. Named for it’s ability to be a sort of “flexible love seat”, it incorporates two of my favorite things: Sustainability (made wholly from recycled paper and wood products) and configurability depending on your needs (expands to 720 cm from 22 cm).

This chair uses a honeycomb structure to expand out and can hold up to 16 people and support up to 4224 lbs. You can see it action here.

Currently sold out but taking pre-orders.

This is perhaps the best economy daybed I’ve ever seen. The chrome and powder coated steel legs are perfect.

Caveat Emptor:

This should go without saying, but you really do get what you pay for. This sofa is cheap, and will probably last you until you get that promotion. When it is time to upgrade, please please please donate this to someone that will love it forever so it doesn’t just end up in a landfill.

My modular dream come true. These giant blocks connect using magnetic clasps and can be rearranged to your hearts content.

Size of each cushion is 19 x 19 x 6. Colors: black, white, orange, red, blue, green, purple.

I’ve always loved shelter arm sofas, they are so comforting and comfortable, and at this price, I don’t think you could go wrong.

“High arm, high back, high drama. New-century cocoon cozies up like a room in a room. Referencing prairie and ranch with a spare horizontal point of view. Chocolate hopsack weave is a neutral slate brown ready to take on any pillow, any wall color. Solid maple legs taper 50s style.”

I collect vintage interior design/decorating books, and a particular favorite I found at a university library sale: Bloomingdale’s Book of Home Decorating, published in 1972. The first picture you see as you flip through its sepia tinged pages is of a sunken living room, resembling a cave, with white fur covering almost every surface, from the floor to the walls to the ceiling. It’s so far over-the-top that I love it, that is what was so fun about decorating in the Seventies!

Imagine my surprise as I was shopping around this morning to find this amazing sofa from cheeky design firm Moooi. If you happen to have a sunken living room, I highly suggest you purchase this sofa in conjunction with several yards of faux fur to complete this designer look. The link below provides some inforamtion with more to come.

A look at the cover shot for Bloomingdales Book of Home Decorating:

Anyone else think the “window” looks trompe’loie?

Blu Dot is one of those companies who can’t seem to misstep; every product they introduce becomes an instant favorite of mine. The new Couchoid upholstery group is no exception. A recessed chrome base makes the solid sofa appear to float, and the dense seat, back, and arms have just enough detail to avoid looking like a big block of foam. The only problem is that I don’t think any pillows would look good on this, so let’s hope it’s as comfortable as it is striking.

Hardwood frame, high density foam. Upholstered in a leather alternative in dark brown,
white, or robin’s egg blue with contrasting stitching.

This is a great execution of a sleeper sofa with a 77.5″ x 47″ sleeping area. Not only is it easy to convert from day to night mode, but it is also has a removable slip cover.

“In 2004, the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design awarded the Pierrot Sleeper its Good Design Award, an international recognition of innovative product design.”

“The Vega Collection (2005) provides a unique solution for environments used for socializing, lounging and sleeping. Created by designers Busk & Hertzog, Vega consists of a multifunctional Sofa, Chaise and Ottoman. When a larger Sofa is needed, the Chaise and Ottoman are ready to oblige; slide the pieces together to create the required size. Should a sectional be in order, three or more pieces can be quickly combined. For further flexibility, the arm of the sofa can be positioned on either side and changed on a whim. The Sofa and Chaise transform into comfortable sleepers by sliding the seats – which rest on metal bases with internal tracks – and folding down the backs. Use a flat sheet for best fit. Two down pillows are included with the Sofa and one with the Chaise. Made in Denmark.”

This is a great little sofa with perfect proportions. It’s also on sale.

• Lightweight kiln-dried solid hardwood frame
• Dense foam core cushions wrapped in soft poly batting

You can’t beat this sofa bed for the price.

“In spite of its minimalist looks it offers excellent comfort, thanks to high quality filling and wooden slats in the seat. Roomy and comfortable while not taking up too much space. Even more surprising is the ease with which the sofa converts into a double bed.
