A modern sofa is more than you can imagine. It’s amazing how in less than a hundred years industrial innovations, increasingly sophisticated designs, and the appearance of resistant, attractive, and interesting materials allowed the creation of models destined to conquer the public’s taste.

The Woodrow Box Skandi sofa, for instance, is a pure sample of Modernism applied to a highly efficient, comfortable, and durable sofa. Normally, people choose a certain sofa according to their preferences, the floor plan they’re designing, its colors, materials, finishes, and so on.

A mid-century sofa is much more than it seems: it’s the result of many years of evolution of an industry that left behind the unnecessary ornamental details and the old restrictions typical of Victorian and classic designs to make way for models focused on the functionality, ergonomics, practicality, and a simple aesthetic compatible with almost all the most popular décor trends today.

The modern catalog also brought technical innovations that a few decades ago were unsuspected, such as modular sofas and some types of convertible sofas whose operation is amazing. It’s interesting to think how the industry has evolved to offer much more than what users expected and redefine Modernism in favor of staying in line with the user’s lifestyle and a moment in history when people only want the best.
