Design Views

Straight

The sizes are completely different, which is convenient for planning almost any type. The direct sofa is complemented by fixed armrests, built-in shelves or side adjustable parts.

Angular

The angular design is convenient in that when disassembled, it turns into a comfortable berth. This type is convenient to use in a small room. The sofa is usually placed in the corner of the room, so in the assembled state it will occupy a minimal area, which can significantly save space.

Modular

A modular sofa is a combination of independent parts that can make up the big picture in different variations. This option is suitable for any room. This design provides an opportunity to combine components in different ways, and thereby change the appearance of the room without additional costs.

Types of material

Leather

• Genuine Leather. Beautiful, rich and natural finish. It is difficult to clean genuine leather from ink; it has a characteristic odor. Such material is afraid of the claws of cats and dogs, as well as accessories on clothes that can easily turn the surface and leave scratches.
• Eco leather - This is a two-layer surface, composed of fabric and polymer. The material is durable, wear-resistant and elastic material. More budget than genuine leather. In case of damage to the eco skin is not subject to reconstruction.
• Leatherette - a polymeric material, visually able to completely imitate natural skin. Strong enough and flexible, but there is a minus - low breathability.

Fabric

• Gunny. Eco-friendly and practical material, which usually consists of cotton or linen. The fabric has a unique weaving characteristic only for it. Due to the natural components in the composition is durable.
• Velours. The material pleasant to the touch has a velvety surface with a fine pile on the front side and smooth on the wrong side.
• Flock. Non-woven material, which consists of a pile glued to the base. Wear-resistant, durable and easy to clean material.
• Velvet. Luxurious fabric with a soft fleece surface on the outside of the canvas. The material is dusty and not durable enough.
