Loading ...Separating Spaces
Ever since lofts showed up in our cities nearly two decades ago, the comments regarding their usefulness are many. The opinions, many and varied, pro and con, some driving and disparaging…..The loft was born as a new way of life and to it we will dedicate an entire other chapter, today we are only going to focus on something that the loft brought with it.
Open spaces are the cause or the consequence of lofts, but still willing to live in a single space that will cover all our needs, there are tasks that require a certain intimacy. The search for personal space within a shared space, in the absence of walls, requires creativity.

The importance of the sofa
Lifestyles change with the passage of time, it is inevitable, the secret of a great decoration doesn’t lie only in appearance, but more in how it is adapted to our needs and how it has the chameleon capacity to change when our life “style” changes.
Even-though all the rooms of a house have gone through different moments and therefore styles, we will be focusing our attention in the living room, concretely on the sofa.

Colonial furniture is the result of an explosive cocktail of two ancient cultures, East and West.
Two styles that merge into one single piece culminating one, in a unique and spectacular way. The sobriety, the innovation in the design, the purity of the lines and the modernity brought by the Western culture, alloyed with the materials, craftsmanship techniques and exotic finishes, proper of the East. A blending of cultures that come to us with exquisite furniture aesthetics.
