Sofas and armchairs: this year’s designer releases

We are crazy about sofas and armchairs! Just like every other year, we went to the Salone del Mobile di Milano and made note of the most interesting products in order to provide you with some good ideas for furnishing the home.

We have already posted our selection of designer lamps thanks to what we saw at the fair with Euroluce. Now we’d like to consider the living room and leisure spaces with a gallery dedicated to sofas and armchairs.

What is the current style for sofas and armchairs?

With so many new styles and new projects from furniture companies, there is obviously an extensive amount of choice. However, there are some trends, structural details and special designs which come back in many products which seem to represent the predominant style over the past few years.

Two particular trends stood out for us. The first is related to armchairs which today often opt for an extremely enveloping frame. The piece of seating which is most representative of private relaxation is more and more of an object which embraces the seated person, whatever its base or look.

Meanwhile, a monolithic style predominates among sofas. They go without feet, have extra-large cushions, and combine the structure and seat. Just like islands which emerge from the water, the fixed and modular sofas this year are objects with a strong presence which are made to be extremely comfortable. There are, however, still lots of lighter and airier models. Which do you prefer?

We have put together a gallery with some of the most interesting products from this year, attempting to find the most appealing contemporary seating. There are armchairs, chairs, fixed sofas, and modular sofas with various structures which are made for various destinations. The majority of these new releases are meant for modern living rooms, but there are also perfect seats for public lounge areas or offices, and even some outdoor furniture which is chic enough to be placed anywhere!
