Our Favourites for Sofa Season

There’s a plush factor to these sofas, with sinuous lines, soft textures and more than a little give. Ride the wave.

Holding Pattern

The Clam sofa bed ($7,621), a collaboration between Léo Dubreil and Baptiste Pilato that won last year's Concours Cinna prize and is now made by Ligne Roset, seems to clasp you within its shell whether you've horizontal or not. ligne-roset.com

 

Open Arms

As its name suggests, Bensen's Aura sofa (from $10,985) surrounds you. The sectional seat has a slight splay to its armrests and soft give in its down-filled seat cushions for an embrace that's open-armed yet still tailored. informinteriors.com

 

Blushing Bombshell

With its tufted velvet and brass-capped wooden legs, the Milchbar ($2,999) by Kare looks decidedly retro. But the three-seat sofa also adds some rouge to the mix for extra va-va-voom. kare-vancouver.com

 

Street Style

The switchbacks of San Francisco's most famous street inspired the same-named Lombard sofa (from $22,770), designed by Yabu Pushelberg for Avenue Road. Its structured curves come in various modules and configurations to match whatever your speed. avenue-road.com

 

Full Suspension

The Arlon sofa ($17,790) by design duo Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez for Gruppo Euromobil is unstructured yet streamlined, its ample padding perched atop a slender frame for an airy€”and dreamy€”vibe. bloomfurniturestudio.com

Designer Pick

Sven Charme sofa in tan ($2,199), article.com

€œI love this sofa in caramel leather, mainly for its classic design. The lines are mid-century, the tufted bench seat is lovely and you can€™t beat the vintage patina that develops on the material over time. I own this sofa and I source it for clients all the time!€
