IT'S A SOFA...NOT A COUCH


i am that rare designer that honestly believes in function before beauty, however this also makes me that designer who will fixate over a function problem for days on end trying to find an aesthetically pleasing solution because i swear it's out there. having prefaced with that, obviously i believe comfort and scale are priorities in selecting a sofa. please note that i did not say comfort = overstuffed chenille, microsuede or movable pleather. a finely shaped, well made NON-RECLINING sofa can actually be kid friendly, stain resistant and enjoyable to pile on for a family screening of Madea Goes to Jail.
