A sofa is one of the largest and most important pieces of furniture in a living space. It could be argued some of us spend nearly as much time on our sofa as we do in our bed. The sofa as we know it did not appear in history until the 1690’s and has since remained a piece of furniture around which a living room, sitting room, den or lounge functions.  It’s hard to deny; sofas are large and in charge.

Such a large and utilized piece of furniture requires a lengthy punch list of very specific needs for the user. Comfort, shape, size and style all must be kept in mind while making a design decision.  Removable slipcovers?  The ability to add elements as a home grows?  How about the ability to bolt a sofa to the floor or create a semicircle conversation pit?

SUITE NYs unique variety of sofas is sure to satisfy all of your needs.

LARSEN

With the Larsen collection, which debuted in Milan this year, one is transported back in time to Don Draper’s Madison Avenue office. During the economic boom of the 1960s furniture had to be manufactured in mass quantities without sacrificing design and functionality. The era truly signified a time in which design, quality and innovation all combined seamlessly. Larsen encapsulates the contemporary-classic style of the era. Aninteresting detail is the seat frame which extends beyond the seat cushion to create a discreet ledge. Available in various modular elements and sofas as well as a perfectly scaled armchair, Larsen is a new interpretation of Mid-Century design.

ELLIOT

The Elliot collection of upholstered elements offer ergonomic comfort that is as visible as it is tangible.   The crisp-lined boxy exterior is heavily padded with soft down in the armrests, backrests and seat cushions. All of the parts are independent of one another and fixed on a metal framework for ultimate customization and easy slipcover removal.   Deceptively comfortable and supportive, Elliot is one of SUITE NY’s best sellers. A 2-seater version in two upholstery options is in stock and ready to ship for $7,325.00.

FRIDAY

The Friday Sofa and Lounge, designed by all-star design team Formstelle, were created to enjoy at the end of a long workweek.  (Hence the name. ) The curved solid wood frame is soft to the touch and gentle on the eyeswhile the cut-out leather sling back adds a graphic dimension to an otherwise simple aesthetic.  The cushions in hearty doses of down have removable covers available in a sophisticated palate of sleek leathers with or without complimentary stitching in a rainbow of hues.

LINK

Link is a minimalist, elegant and extremely comfortable collection of settees and elements that combine freely in an infinite number of possibilities thanks to the 138 modules available.   A long time presence on our showroom floor, Link just returned yesterday in a classic L shape and gray upholstery that perfectly complements our FK87 Grasshopper Lounge and hypoallergenic Woodnotes Carpet.
