​Answering Questions From Network Communities About Modern Sofas | Part II

Posted by Gabriela Martinez on Oct 30th 2020

To enjoy completely this series of articles we recommend you read the previous one in order to understand better the following information.

Asking in platforms we mentioned before is very helpful when you want an honest and personal opinion, here you will find multiple persons with a lot of experience with furniture and interior design. Perfect mix when decorating a house!

Now continuing the central theme about the questions that people normally ask before and after owning a modern sofa (in case you don’t how a modern sofa exactly looks, take as an example de Mario Bellini sofa), the next question is quite a recurring one when people search for a new sofa.

Where to find a modern sofa?

This question has specifically taken from Reddit and we found that people tend to use places like:

  • Manhattan Home Design.
  • Amazon.
  • Knoll.
  • Cassina.
  • Home Depot.

Each site specializes in a particular field, for example, Knoll focuses on making and selling original pieces from mid-century modern designers like Florence Knoll and Mies van der Rohe. They offer all the pieces of the Florence Knoll and Barcelona collection.

On the other hand, Manhattan Home Design, is almost the opposite of Knoll, although we offer original furniture, we aim to offer the public inexpensive and high-end replicas of multiple mid-century and modern designers like Le Corbusier. In fact, we offer almost every piece in the LC collection.

Tan modern sofa

This question was taken from Houzz. Houzz is an amazing platform when you are decorating a house, the difference between this and the other platforms mentioned is that Houzz focuses only on interior design. Here you can find professionals -you can even hire them- and newbies in the area, you can also find blogs, discussions about furniture and/or other ideas on how to create an optimal space according to the standard principles of space distribution.

We dove a bit into the Houzz discussions and found this question related to tanning couches. Tan sofas are very often placed in living rooms because their color works as a neutral piece and is also easy to combine with other elements.

Based on what we have read on this site, people suggest three sofas:

  • Mario Bellini sofa.
  • Landskrona Sofa.
  • Charmer Tan Timber sofa.

Three of them have similar characteristics, below we are going to describe only one of them so that you can imagine how you can feel when sitting on one of these wonderful sofa models.

The Mario bellini sofa is the personification of what modernism is, the natural appearance due to the aniline leather will lead your mind to a natural landscape because this leather has the particularity of showing the original appearance of the leather so you may see a little darker some areas of the leather.

How to warm up a modern sofa?

This is another question from Houzz. It is a very common question after you own the sofa because somehow you need to fill that "uncomfortable" void. The easiest way to do this is by adding bold cushions that match your color scheme and shades.
