Chair of the Week: Eastpak’s Quinze & Milan Built-To-Resist Sofa

I saw this awesome sofa over at Dezeen and had to share it. Eastpak, which you probably associate with their backpacks, teamed up with the design team known as Quinze & Milan, to create this stuffable, totable sofa. Love it!

Check out this link to see it in action. Check out Y-Living to purchase. It comes in a variety of colors – but please choose red. It’s my favorite color!

Chair of the Day: Apartment Sofa from Lee

Catalog companies, like Pottery Barn don’t manufacture their own furniture. They contract it out. I believe Pottery Barn uses Vanguard. Lee Industries sells under their own label, but also sells to other brands. Lee has a good sense of style and they’re priced really well.

Here’s one I like. Their Apartment Sofa is covered with Lee fabric was well. Not bad. I find it very difficult to find a fabric I like from the company that makes the furniture. Lee’s Apartment Sofa retails for around $1,100.

Chair of the Day: Camden Sofa from Crate & Barrel

This short week I’m focusing on inexpensive sofas that have some style. I think Crate & Barrel’s Camden Sofa makes the cut because of its clean lines, neatly constructed.

It’s a simple sofa you can dress up with pillows and a throw. A couple of large, square pillows stuffed in the corners, will soften the look. Or, use 2 rectangular pillows set evenly apart, for a contemporary look. At $899.00 I think it’s a good deal.

Chair of the Day: Angela Adams’ Munjoy

Designer Angela Adams is well known for her carpet and rugs. But she also has a line of furniture that’s pretty cool. This is her Munjoy sofa.

It has classic, mid-century style. I like it. How about you?

Chair of the Day: Van Vliet’s Sushi

I’m moving in a new direction from my higgldy-piggeldy approach to Chair of the Day – at least for this week. I’m going to be focusing on a series of sofas and chairs designed by Edward Van Vliet for Moroso. The collection is called Sushi and I love its dressmaker qualities.

The collection isn’t new, but it was featured a few weeks ago in Brussells at their Design Fair.

The Sushi collection is a sophisticated wrapping concept inspired by universal layers, found also in nature and architecture. A sofa with a hard shell, medium firmness support pillows and comfortable pillows on the surface. Each layer distinguished by a different sort of upholstery. I love this idea. Whatever you think of the fancy thoughts behind the design, these are just plain beautiful.

The details are vibrant. I’m intrigued by the mix of color and pattern on this sofa. To find a list of retailers in your area, follow the link.
