Elite sofas: types, sizes and selection

Most people have little idea of ​​what elite sofas are. But if you have already decided to buy such furniture, you need to know its main types and sizes. This is the only way to make the right choice.

Elite sofas can look very different, but in any case they are made strictly by hand. Serial production is not practiced at all. Each copy is one of a kind or made together with a small number of similar items. Of course, only the most professional performers can create premium furniture. All sofas of this kind are very reliable, which is achieved by using strictly natural and solid materials. Any detail is meticulously thought over, because there are no trifles here at all. The safety factor is calculated for decades to come. At the same time, they also take care of the maximum level of comfort.

Not less important requirements are:

• absolute safety of products;
• ecological cleanliness;
• elegance;
• exclusive look;
• taking into account all the needs of the owner.

Each elite sofa resembles not a piece of furniture, but a genuine work of art. He immediately adds style and luxury to the atmosphere. Such furniture first appeared in Europe in the Middle Ages. It was then that the nobility tried to emphasize their superiority. And although feudal times are long gone, this motive for buying furniture is still valid.

A truly elite sofa is made always made of expensive wood... Natural leather and natural materials are used to cover it. They retain their pleasant appearance for several decades. The developers diligently avoid all sorts of flashy shades and unpleasant elements.

It is not so important whether they choose an exclusive for a home or for a solid office. First you need to decide on the desired design style. Elite furniture is most often made in the spirit of classics, country and art deco. But lovers of baroque and minimalism are also not deprived. An exclusive sofa should be surrounded by suitable decorative items. If it is impossible to decorate the whole house in this way, then at least duplicating the materials of the main interior details in the furniture is quite possible.

It is equally important to be able to distinguish fakes. The high price of elite sofas leads to the fact that the market is oversaturated with counterfeit items. The main part of such furniture is supplied from Italy, and it is its products that should be preferred. You should definitely require documents confirming the quality. And a few more recommendations:

• official suppliers use only first-class packaging that minimizes deformation during transportation;
• falsifiers deliberately make the inside of the sofa and places that are difficult to view are of poor quality;
• the use of cheap, low-quality materials and parts can be recognized by a foul smell;
• real European manufacturers guarantee the excellent quality of both the sets themselves and individual parts.

Having sifted out obvious fakes, you need to figure it out further without haste. Good luxury furniture is made not only in Italy, but also in Germany and Spain. Russian and Chinese, Polish and Belarusian firms also supply high-quality products of this kind. Please note that sofas with light upholstery should not be avoided, replacing it is not difficult. And you should definitely be interested in those which frame is used and which filler is used.

Modular sofas often have custom seating positions. You can put such furniture in a room in a variety of ways. The sectional subtype allows maximum flexibility in choosing the color and type of upholstery, the design of armrests and other individual blocks.

Fans of Russian-made sofas should pay attention to the products of Shatura-Mebel. She closely interacts with Italian companies and adopts the experience they have accumulated. All production equipment is from Germany, and fabrics are also bought there. Basically, Shatura's products have strict geometric shapes and are covered with fabric upholstery. But problems are sometimes caused by a frame made of chipboard. A good alternative is the upholstered furniture of the Ogogo Obstobovochka! Brand. For example, a corner sofa bed Petergof models. Its characteristics are as follows:

• the ottoman is present;
• a transforming mechanism is provided;
• weight 226 kg;
• dimensions 3.59x0.88x2.01 m.

Another interesting Russian manufacturer is Anderssen. The very narrow specialization in upholstered furniture can be considered an advantage. The company uses only carefully tested fasteners. She actively uses orthopedic fillers. The choice of design and upholstery is very wide, however, the service sometimes causes some problems.

If you need a straight sofa with a width of 160 cm, you can pay attention to model "Osaka" from solid beech, sold by the company "Dream Divan»... Strictly speaking, this model does not have a fixed width - it is selected to order. But a mattress with a thickness of 0.12 m is used, the cover is easy to remove. And one more plus - the company guarantees the manufacture of a copy within 14 days.

Choosing large Italian sofas, you should look at the Memoria Veneziana sofa, or the Bonaldo Peanut B. In the second case, both the legs and the frame are made of solid wood.The choice of color and decor is determined individually.

Lovers of a modern approach will surely like to taste German sofa JAAN LIVING... It is equipped with pillows of various shapes. Traditional practicality is expressed in the use of space behind the backrest for storing various items. Height, width and length are selected individually. Solid gray fabric is used for the upholstery.

An example of a classic style sofa is model "Lion" from the Potyutkov factory. For upholstery, use chenille, velor or flock (optional). The frame has a lifetime warranty. The fabric has a jacquard weave.

As for Spanish products, a good example is sofa TECNI NOVA. Its dimensions are 1.57x1.04x0.9 m. By default, the product is painted beige. Upholstery it with leather or fabric. The style, as in the previous case, is an impeccable classic.

This photo shows a beautiful handmade dark sofa. Luxurious finishes and intricate shapes look very attractive in a classic interior. The combination of such a sofa with a decorative sculpture and the general color of the room is expressive. Other elements (picture, curtains, vase) are also tastefully selected. The dark tone of the furniture is visually duplicated in the carpet.

And here the designers tried to make the sofa lighter. But on the other hand, it has no less original external form. The brilliantly black base (floor) only adds chic to the composition. The patterns on the surface of the furniture make it nicer and more interesting. The interior may or may not be liked, but no one will call it primitive.

And this is another classic composition. The designers also tried to use solid furniture covered with natural leather. Its traditional character is emphasized by an armchair of the same kind. An arched window and a painting with a pleasant landscape create additional harmony. Chairs and tables with bent legs play an equally important role in the composition.
