The concept of sofa suites take in all sorts of seating unit combinations. It gives a nod of recognition to sectionals, corner sofas and large corner pieces. It embraces both cloth covered seats and leather seats. It brings into the circle of such suites both those that must remain at an indoor location, and those that can withstand exposure to changing temperatures.
Some sofa suites allow for the creation of many different seating patterns. The Annex Sectional from CB2 is one such unit grouping. Used as a single unit, it could be a simple couche. Used as two smaller units, it could be a love seat. Used as an entire unit grouping such as a small corner sofa it could accommodate up to twelve adults.
The stain repellant fabric in the suite’s multiple pieces reduces the amount of time that a host needs to devote to maintenance of the site at which she plans to supervise her before and after dinner entertainment. If her guests feel moved by earlier Earth Day announcements, they should praise the sustainable materials in this slate gray suite. It contains poly microfiber fabric and chrome plate legs.
Sofa suites tend to be large, and to take up a good deal of space. The large and impressive leather sectional pictured in the “Home” catalogue from Restoration Hardware begs for an equally impressive coffee table. The RH editors have depicted this huge suite of leather covered units in a room with a glass topped furniture factory cart. That cart has been transformed into the required coffee table.
In that same room, a cube shaped trunk has been used as an end table. A Franklin Pharmacy Table Lamp sits on top of that cube. That is at one end of an L shaped group. At the other end, a brass Franklin Pharmacy floor lamp provides any reader with needed lighting.
Now the reader should never think that a small corner sofa has to go indoors. Such a grouping could belong on a patio, as is the case with the Seagrass Sectional. Working with skilled hands, the creators of this large unit have woven natural fibers and placed them atop a wooden frame. Each of the components can either stand alone, or contribute to the stylish look of a larger grouping.
A family of tall people might take an interest in the Una Sofa from CB2. While it has only two large chaise-like pieces, each of those pieces seems specially designed for someone with extra long legs. If those long legged people happen to have a rather laid-back attitude, then this particular sofa should certainly “fill the bill.” It features a low angled back, one that is covered in a coffee colored, tightly woven fabric.
This two unit piece sits low to the ground, supported by recessed metal legs. Perhaps that is why it has such a deep seat. That said, it offers only a limited number of design combinations. In that sense, this item from the “Creativity Explored” furniture outlet differs markedly from most other sofa suites.
