What are elite sofas - most people have little idea. 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.
Features
Elite sofas can look very different, but in any case they are made strictly by hand. Serial production is not practiced at all. Each instance is one of a kind or made 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 using strictly natural and solid materials. Any detail is carefully thought out, because there are no trifles here at all. Safety margins are counted on for decades to come. At the same time, they take care of the maximum level of comfort.
No 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 rather resembles not an interior item, but a genuine work of art. It immediately adds style and luxury to the decor. Such furniture first appeared in Europe in the Middle Ages. It was then that nobility tried to emphasize its superiority. Although feudal times have long passed, such a motive for buying furniture is still valid.
A genuine luxury sofa made always made of expensive wood. To cover it, use genuine leather and natural materials. They retain a pleasant appearance for several decades.Developers carefully avoid all kinds of flashy shades and unpleasant elements.
It should be borne in mind that luxury furniture can be created not only for the home, but also for the office - and at the same time, of course, its main features should be fully preserved.
Selection tips
It doesn’t matter if they choose exclusive for 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 objects. If it is impossible to arrange the whole house in this way, then at least duplicating the materials of the main interior details in 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 falsified copies. The main part of such furniture comes from Italy, and it is precisely its products that must be preferred. Be sure to require documents confirming the quality. And a few more recommendations:
- official suppliers use only first-class packaging, which minimizes deformation during transportation;
- counterfeiters deliberately make the inside of the sofa and places difficult to access for viewing poor quality;
- the use of cheap low-quality materials and parts can be recognized by a bad smell;
- real European manufacturers guarantee excellent quality of both the sets themselves and individual parts.
Having sifted out obvious fakes, it is necessary to understand further without rushing. Good luxury furniture is made not only in Italy, but also in Germany and Spain. Russian and Chinese, Polish and Belarusian firms also supply quality products of this kind. Please note that sofas with light upholstery should not be avoided; replacing it is not difficult. And be sure to be interested in which framework is used and which filler is used.
Modular sofas often have non-standard seating areas. You can put such furniture in the room in a variety of ways. Sectional subtype allows the most flexible choice of color and type of upholstery, the design of the armrests and other individual blocks.
An unfastened modular sofa is appreciated because this solution allows you to flexibly change shape, add and remove sections.
Manufacturers and exclusive models
Fans of Russian-made sofas should pay attention to the products of Shatura-Mebel company. She closely interacts with Italian companies and takes over the experience accumulated by them. All production equipment is from Germany; fabrics are also bought there. Basically, Shatura products have strict geometric shapes and are covered with fabric upholstery. But sometimes the frame from the chipboard delivers problems. A good alternative is upholstered furniture of the brand “Ogogo Obstanovochka!” For example, a corner sofa bed Petergof models. Its characteristics are as follows:
- an ottoman is present;
- a transforming mechanism is provided;
- weight 226 kg;
- dimensions 3,59х0,88х2,01 m.
Another interesting Russian manufacturer - Anderssen. The narrowest specialization in upholstered furniture can be considered an advantage. The company uses only carefully tested mounting hardware. 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 160 cm wide, you can pay attention to Osaka model solid wood sold by Dream Sofa». Strictly speaking, this model does not have a fixed width - it is selected to order. But the mattress is 0.12 m thick, the cover is easy to remove. And one more plus - the company guarantees the manufacture of a copy within 14 days.
When choosing large Italian sofas, you should take a closer look at the Memoria Veneziana sofa, or Bonaldo Peanut B. In the second case, both the legs and the frame are made of solid wood. The choice of color and decor option is determined individually.
Delivery of goods to the Russian capital will take about 3 months.
Fans of the modern approach will surely like it German sofa JAAN LIVING. It is equipped with pillows of various shapes. Traditional practicality is expressed in the use of space behind the back for storing various items. Height, width and length are selected individually. A solid gray fabric is used for upholstery.
An example of a classic style sofa is model "Lyon" from the factory "Potiutkov". For upholstery, they use chenille, velor or flock (optional). The frame has a lifetime warranty. The fabric has a jacquard-like weave.
The key to high quality is the experience of the company, gained since 1995.
As for Spanish products, its good example is sofa TECNI NOVA. Its dimensions are 1.57 x 1.04 x 0.9 m. By default, the product is painted in beige. Upholstered with leather or cloth. Style, as in the previous case, is an impeccable classic.
Examples in the interior
This photo shows a great dark handmade sofa. Elegant finishes and intricate shapes look very attractive in a classic interior. An expressive combination of such a sofa with decorative sculpture, and with the general coloring of the room. Other elements (picture, curtains, vase) are also selected with taste. The dark tone of the furniture is visually duplicated in the carpet.
And then the designers tried to make the sofa lighter. But then it has a no less original external form. The brilliantly black base (floor) only adds chic to the composition. Patterns on the surface of the furniture make it more pleasant and interesting. The interior may or may not like, but no one will call it primitive.
And this is another classic composition. Designers also tried to use high-quality furniture, fitted with genuine leather. Its traditionality is emphasized by an armchair of the same kind. An arched window and a picture with a pleasant landscape create additional harmony. An equally important role in the composition is played by chairs and tables with bent legs.
