Couch Varieties And You: Determining Your Most Suitable Place To Sit

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

The chaise longue, the Knole, along with the Chesterfield remain a trio of settee style classics that, irrespective of generations of creativity since their invention, remain de rigeur with the couch purchasing public and the starting point for a lot of innovative marques.

You hadn’t heard of the Knole? It’s named after an extraordinary seat coming initially from Knole House in Kent, where the Sackville family live. It has prominent sidepieces, an upright back plus drop down sides which are kept together with braid. This is what lends a Knole a kind of impermanent semblance, generating an impression that the couch may collapse when used. The drop down sidepieces were designed with a beneficial purpose — drop them down to make a bed (or, at least, this was the original intent, although this is rarely done anymore).

A chaise longue might be described as a hybrid bed/couch, effectively an uncomplicated reclining chair possessing a canted back & leg support and even armrests. Variations of this historical concept have been traced back to Egyptian, South American and Roman designs, and also Asia.

When you visualize the chaise longue, the model you probably think of originated in the time of Louis XV, which employed mahogany, rich fabrics and gilt to present the appearance of true luxury. In our 21st century world the Corbusier Chaise Longue is an iconic classic, a simple but elegant tubular stainless steel and leather creation from the 1920s.

In comparison, the Chesterfield brings up a stately home lifestyle, setting the stage for pleasure — and improving appearance as its fabric ages.

Very few sofas can outdo its aesthetic. It’s commonly believed that the seat is named for the fourth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). He perhaps funded the first made to the design, giving a name to the distinctive design through the centuries.

A Guide To Sofa Variations

We recommend you hop over to this terrific site for sofa tips!

The chaise longue, the Knole, as well as the Chesterfield are undoubtedly three time honored couches which, in spite of having been around for generations, have become de rigeur among the furniture purchasing public and the starting point for several upgraded variants.

Had you not encountered the Knole? It’s named after a remarkable piece of furniture discovered in Sevenoaks’ Knole House, where the Sackvilles dwell. They have prominent sidepieces, an upright back piece and drop-down side panels that are tied together with braid. The structure conveys a certain air of impermanence, making it seem the couch could collapse.

The drop-down sidepieces fulfill a helpful function — a Knole where they’ve been lowered becomes a bed — which is to say, this was the original purpose, though this is rarely done now. A chaise longue may be considered a cross between a couch and a bed, effectively an uncomplicated reclining chair with a canted back & leg support and armrests. Types of the chaise longue have been traced back to Egyptian, Roman and South American civilizations, along with Chinese design.

The model we usually picture has its roots in Louis XV’s time, during which the extensive use of mahogany, gilt and rich fabrics projected an image of genuine opulence. In the modern era the Corbusier Chaise Longue is effortlessly stylish, devised in 1928 using leather and tubular stainless steel. In comparison, the Chesterfield calls forth a country house atmosphere, setting the tone for rest (and getting better as its fabric grows softer with age). It is known for its sophistication and style. It’s typically suspected that the chair was named for Phillip, Earl of Chesterfield. The story goes that the Earl possibly bought the original made to the design, associating himself with the distinctive style.

Fabric Sofas Or Leather Sofas?

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

If you are buying sofa for your living room would you choose leather sofa or fabric sofa? Many people these days go for modern furniture so they buy leather sofa rather than fabric sofa because leather is more modern than fabrics. But which one would you buy? No offense to anyone but mostly fabric sofas are bought by elderly people. Lot of people choose leather sofas for their living room’s comfort these days as it is the latest fashion to be honest.

 

Fabric sofas are generally lower in price compared to leather sofas but there are some fabric sofas out there that are expensive than leather. If you visit a restaurant let’s say in a small village, they will have fabric sofas as their restaurant furniture for the lounge though not the dining area. Lounge is generally to sit customers down till their dining table is ready, this will be few minutes sitting time where they can enjoy few drinks. It is same with the coffee shop furniture. Though some coffee shops such as Starbucks and Costa have both fabric and leather sofas because people from all ages go their and drink coffee.

 

I have a leather sofa at home but there is one thing that I do not like about the leather sofa. During the winter when you have a hangover on a Sunday you just want to laze around all day by sitting on the sofa. But leather makes it cold to sit down on the sofa so I sit next to the fire place. When you are hung-over you want to cover every single part of your body and this also help you are feeling cold. I hope that makes sense. And its so annoying when a part of my body touches the part of the sofa because it feels cold.

 

But choosing is up to you.
