Velvet Sofa

Filed under: Decor

Say velvet sofa to me and I picture either a one of those plush Pottery Barn numbers or a threadbare davenport. The latest design from Sand and Birch is neither of these. Instead this spin on the velvet sofa, designed by Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro involves a looping wooden frame wrapped in velvet. Not quite as comfy as other velvet sofas I've seen but this one would work in a contemporary home. It makes an interesting companion piece to their diamond sofa which is a similar shape done in shiny aluminum.

Diamond Sofa

Filed under: Decor

A seat and an "object of very provocative design," according to Samanta Snidaro and Andrea Fino of Sand & Birch design, the Diamond Sofa is sculpted from mirror-like aluminum without a diamond in sight. It will, however, have 160 Swarovski crystals on the widest strip of metal, which will disperse the light that emanates from the attached fixture throughout the room, making the sofa a focal point - at least until somone sits down and blocks the reflections. A very limited edition, only 100 of these sofas will be produced. Each measures 150 x 90 (190 at lamp) x 100 cm. Contact designers for pricing.
