Design Trends for Designer Armchairs & Sofas

Welcome to armchairs and sofa designer trends. Included are a preview of high profile and stylised handmade and bespoke European designer furniture collections to include armchairs and sofas from a couture, highly stylised and ’connoisseur’ collections of fine and unique furniture pieces from leading and important European designers and ateliers. Included within the selection are a number of conversational pieces that we feel will inspire you and indeed will further direct you to a full range of interiors and a unique furniture collection.

Our interior selections have been carefully amalgamated into unique and stylised interior design collections ranging from Classic Chic Furniture to include classically referenced furniture pieces carefully and academically designed in the prevailing fashion providing these classically referenced pieces with a ‘cutting edge’ essence and design ethos emphasised by their chic stylisation. A homage and reverence to the pure and refined classical proportions of fine European and English furniture, to include armchairs and sofas of the present with an emphasis on enhancing the classical proportions and principles with the use of clearly defined and slick finishes, detailing and execution. The carefully selected armchairs and sofas collections are an illustration and form part of a comprehensive and eclectic collection of classically referenced Designer Armchairs , Sofas & Loungers, all of these pieces being crafted and finished by hand in  Europe by leading and well established ateliers defined by their historical and traditional backgrounds in the production and creation of fine furniture collections. We trust that the included selection of styles will infuse your thoughts and feelings and indeed delight your imagination and faculties connecting you with the arrangements and possibilities of design and interiors in accordance to your design projects.

These designer collections and furniture pieces are cautiously selected encapsulating and aiming at design projects with an emphasis on a restylisation of traditional and period styles and proportions. These armchairs, sofas and seating pieces are chosen for excellence and on their own merits, contrary to selecting a seating furniture piece which passes imperceptibly or indeed one which is dependant and or is restricted by the boundaries of an ‘interior lifestyle look or trend’. It is our belief that an individual and or unique furniture piece should proudly stand ‘on its own merit’ within and architectural or interior space and when making reference to a seating and or an upholstered piece harmoniously inhabit the interior space and scheme through the skill of coordination by finishes, complimentary hues or colour, textures and shades of upholstery fabrics, so on and so forth.

We hope you will find this preliminary summary to these furniture collections both inspirational and indeed informative, poignant to the process of selecting a particular piece of furniture and the ’reading’ and ’study’ of a furniture piece in accordance to the status and profile of a collection in terms of its skilful production, design ethos and stylisation, presence and or profile and degree of excellence.

This page is revised and updated on a regular basis with the view to illustrate an splendid and eclectic range of inspirational armchairs and sofas. For further thoughts refer to couture interior design notions.
