Design for Living: My 5 Fave Sofas

My team and I are constantly sourcing for the perfect piece of furniture to suit a client's particular needs.  It's not always the new and on trend piece that we're seeking and return to the tried and true time and again.  In the case of sofas, our favorites include B & B Italia's Ray and Charles sofas, designed by Antonio Citterio for B & B Italia.  

The Ray, introduced in 2012 can be customized into various combinations of sofa, sectional or chaise.  The Charles, also from Antonio Citterio was first produced in 2003 and has become a timeless classic.  Because of the comfort, versatility and tailored designs, both fit perfectly into a contemporary or transitional environment - we've placed them in living rooms, dens and media rooms with great success.  I'm such a believer, that I have the Charles in my media room.  

Other favorites include William Sonoma's Branden, Safavieh's Malbec and Mitchell Gold's modern take on the classic Chesterfield.  Some elements these sofas all share are generous depth of seating, well-sprung seat cushions and armrests at a height you can actually rest your arms on!
