Comfort vs. Style





We love modern design but we also love to be comfortable. It may not be apparent but both loves are, at times, enimigos. Take our wonderful Corbusier sofa, the handsome low profile and steel frame look fairly bitchin' in our space. In the last year, we've tried to use this stunner as our primary sofa for watching movies, spooning and pocket change depositing. Unfortunately, all of these activities are not as fun as they were with the big, purple, velvet monster we had in college.

It's time for a sectional. A big soft, comfy sectional that will welcome our bottoms with each sitting. We'd still like our new piece to fit in with the rest of our furniture-friends. This gets a little tricky. Are we trying to have our cake and eat it too? Damn the furniture gods.

So far, here are a few candidates. The first is the carter sectional by Gus. Not too big, low profile, tufted. Add some graphic pillows and this could work.




The above is the "clyde" sectional by Blu dot. Cool lines but is the open end going to put us back into a cuddling conundrum?


What about the lucias sectional (above)?. Not a designer piece but who cares, it looks kinda cool.

If anyone knows of any rad sofas please give us a shout.

I like that first one. It just looks like you want to grab a blanket and watch a movie.

It's a toss up between the 1st and the 3rd. Either would look great!

Your use of the word Rad takes me back to BMX racing and Vision Street wear. Gleaming the Cube and Trapper Keepers. Thank you
