Why Are Italian Leather Sofas So Stylish? In Europe and around the world, Italian leather sofas are considered to be among the finest pieces of furniture you can get for your home or office. The term “Italian leather” denotes a certain standard of quality, and this is similar to Costa Rican coffee, Egyptian cotton, and Turkish tobacco. We think of Italian leather as the most adequate material for luxury sofas; in fact, “Italian Leather Sofa” is the title of a song by the American modern rock band Cake from their 1996 album “Fashion Nugget.”

Italian Leather: a Legacy of Quality and Craftsmanship

As with Turkish tobacco and Costa Rican coffee, the two factors that Italian leather stand out are the sourcing and crafting. Italian ranchers take very good care of their cattle, and craftsmen use a special vegetable mix for tanning the hides. The finishing and coloring processes are extremely meticulous, and national trade associations inspect the quality of leather before it can be certified for importing. Needless to say, the Italian leather industry takes pride in following an all-natural process.

Bringing Italian Leather to Your Luxury Sofa

When Italian leather is acquired by furniture makers, it comes with a warranty that covers defects and attests to the durability of the material. SofaDreams is committed to making sofas and couches that are not only aesthetic but also extremely durable; we want our clients to enjoy their furniture for a very long time, and this is why we choose Italian leather. SofaDreams also offers a five-year Gold Plus Protection Plan that covers your Italian leather sofas against accidents such as stains, burns, scratches, cuts, and structural damage; this plan even offers complete replacement in some cases.

When you combine European styling with German engineering and Italian leather, you get sectional sofas such as the Severino, one of our most lavish pieces of furniture. Our Pino sectional sofa is made with top-grain Italian leather, a gorgeous and long-lasting material perfect for furniture that will be extensively used. If you are looking for the more traditional look of a living room set instead of a sectional, our Piero sofa set provides a couch, love seat, and armchair made with black or white top grain leather.

SofaDreams is a furniture design studio dedicated to luxury and excellence.

design known as the Atomic Age, which started during World War II and lasted until the mid-1960s, right about the time when the Ford Motor Company introduced the third generation of the Ford Galaxie 500. It was around this time that the animated television series “The Jetsons” became popular, and its design sense would later inspire everything from architecture to the sets of films such as “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Star Wars.”

Atomic Age design never fell out of favor. Like other trends in the world of design, it evolved and developed a new sensibility. In the 1980s, the style became more angular and streamlined. Now that we are entering a new decade in the 21st century, we are revisiting Atomic Age design through a movement known as retrofuturism, and this is what you get with SofaDreams’ luxurious furniture.

1. The Hollywood U-Shape Sectional Sofa

When you look at this stylish sofa, you will be reminded of the elaborate cases of the desktop PCs used by video gaming enthusiasts, particularly if you select black Italian leather combined with bright red highlights. The white leather Hollywood with black detailing and LED lighting is reminiscent of the Apple iPhone designs by Jonathan Ive. Of all our upscale sofas, this model is the one that gets the most attention from clients who are into technology, which explains why nearly all of them request the LED lighting, USB ports, wireless charging pad, and cup holder cooler options. This sofa is perfect for home theaters and gaming rooms, but it will also look great in front of a panoramic window overlooking the ocean or a city skyline.

2. The Beverly Hills C-Shape Leather Sofa

This sofa looks as if it belongs in the VIP section of an exclusive dance club in Dubai, and it is complemented with an ottoman plus an optional bed for maximum lounging. Like all of our sofas, the Beverly Hills is proudly designed and manufactured in Germany.

3. The Detroit Sectional Sofa

We all know that Italian automakers injected plenty of flair and style into car interiors; this is something that Detroit auto engineers paid close attention to when designing legendary models such as the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Corvette. Our Detroit sectional sofa is inspired by American sports cars, and it is one of our most comfortable models. LED mood lighting and convenient storage compartments make this sofa a great addition to your living room, home theater, corporate lobby, entertainment den, or media room. When fully reclined, this sofa feels as comfortable as a luxurious bed.

Let the retrofuturistic designs of SofaDreams improve the look of your home and office spaces. Our Sofa Design Studio mobile app lets you see how our sofas will look and fit in your living spaces. Contact us today for more information or feel free to visit our showroom in sunny South Florida.

SofaDreams is proud to be at the forefront of the smart sofa revolution. Technology and furniture design have been developing hand in hand since traders brought Ottoman furniture to Europe in the 18th century. What we now call an ottoman recliner is an example of applying an engineering philosophy to furniture design. By the time American studio Herman Miller popularized the concepts of ergonomics and modular assembly for office furniture, designers knew that integrated technology was the next step.

High Tech Couches and Smart Sofas with Integrated Technology

At SofaDreams, we strongly believe that furniture design should include everything from comfort to style and from functionality to technology. We have seen a return to sofas replacing living room sets, and we are innovating accordingly by offering technology integration options to our customers. There was a time when sofa technology was limited to wired telephone connections, speakers, and pull-out sections; these days, SofaDreams offers modern extras such as USB ports, wireless chargers, LED lighting, and even temperature-controlled beverage cup holders.

Modern LED High-Tech Sofas

This feature is inspired by the lighting schemes you see at dance clubs, upscale boutiques, and even the keyboards used by people who are into video gaming; in fact, many of our customers are gamers who place our smart sofas in their media rooms because the LED mood lights match their hardware and accessories. The LED illumination array comes in various colors and offers lighting effects that can be controlled with a wheeled remote control.

High Tech Luxury Sofas with USB Ports

Charging USB ports are perfect when you want to power smartphones, tablets, smart speakers, or streaming devices. We know that wireless charging smartphones are all the rage these days, so we have responded accordingly with a charging pad in some of our most stylish sofa models.

Futurist Couches With Electric Reclining Technology

There is more to smart sofa technology than just lighting and electronics. We should always remember that sofas are furniture pieces meant for comfort and relaxation; to this effect, we have designed the Orlando model, a fabric or leather couch set that includes an electric reclining function along with multi-functional headrests. The Orlando sofa model can be equipped with LED lights, USB ports, wireless charging pads, and even beverage cup holders that can keep your drinks cool.

Find Your Perfect High-Tech Smart Sofa at SofaDreams

The best way to shop for our smart couches is to install our Sofa Design Studio app on your smartphone or tablet. Through the magic of augmented reality, you can see how our entire catalog would look in your living room, den, lobby, waiting room, home theater, or media room.

Trends come and go in the world of interior design, but they tend to take longer to cycle when it comes to furniture. An interesting trend that has been developing over the last few years is centered on the living room; whereas furniture sets with traditional designs were predominant from about 1990 through the first decade of the 21st century, we are seeing a stronger focus on larger couches and sectional sofas that combine comfort with functionality and lots of styles.

The look of the moment is inspired by the Futurism movement that originated in Italy during the early 20th century and spread through Europe and the Americas with certain variants such as Atomic Age. Here are three sofas that adhere to this aesthetic:

1. The Hollywood 3-2-1 Couch Set  - $4,599.00

In 2018, the film “Solo: A Star Wars Story” gave us a look at how the Millennium Falcon looked when it was still a gleaming new spacecraft. The Hollywood 3-2-1 Couch Set looks like it belongs in one of the Falcon’s lounges, and it can be equipped with features such as a wireless charger, USB connectors, and even a cup holder to keep your drinks frosty.

2. The Los Angeles Fabric and Leather Sectional Sofa - $3,999.00

The living room design of the 1980s featured sleek furniture in primary colors with a streamlined look, and this is exactly what you get with our Los Angeles sectional. This U-shaped sofa includes storage spaces and LED mood lighting that you can adjust with remote control. The three color schemes of this sofa are white, red, and black. Pairing this gorgeous piece of furniture with a smoked glass matching coffee table is the ultimate homage to smart 1980s design. The fabric and leather mix of this sofa means that you get the best of both worlds in terms of texture.

3. Charlotte Leather Sectional Sofa - $3,999.00

This is the favorite furniture piece in the home of Kimbella, star of the reality television series “Love & Hip-Hop.” The fine leather of this U-shaped sofa features a Noble Chesterfield quilting pattern that makes it very attractive. This is one of our most traditional models in terms of design, but you can always make it futuristic by adding premium top grain leather with orange coloring.

Perhaps one of the better decisions people get the opportunity to make is the chance to buy a gorgeous new reclining sofa set. Since Sofa Dreams provides authentic European-inspired furniture that’s actually made overseas, we’re able to offer customers the following great options when it comes time to invest in a new piece of relaxation equipment that they’re going to love.

Best Contemporary Reclining L-Shaped Couches

1. Motion Recliner Sofa Set Aurelio

How does the idea of a modern Italian-style couch crafted in chalk fabric sound? More than likely, it sounds amazingly comfortable. That’s because it is. This set even features a dual motor recliner so you can go back and forth effortlessly whenever you decide that it’s time to relax.

2. Motion Recliner Sofa Ajax

Each Ajax sofa is covered with genuine top-grain Italian leather, which is covered all around to prevent spills. It features a dual-motor recliner system coupled with seat cushions that made out of high-density, highly resilient foam supported by a series of sinuous springs designed to help you feel a little more relaxed than you had ever thought possible. Due to the fact that it’s offered in a series of neutral colors, the Ajax is an excellent option for those who want a couch that offers three headrests and can fit into almost any kind of setting.

Top Modern Luxury Sectional Sofas with Recliners

3. Recliner Sofa Pisa

Those who like the look of Italian top grain leather and enjoy its feel as well will love the Pisa. Unlike the Ajax, though, this one is going to provide a true wraparound experience, so it’s a great option for those who are looking to redo their homes this year with a modern couch that takes up a whole entire section of their floor plan. That makes it attractive for those who are replacing a complete living room set.

4. Modern Recliner Sofa David

Spacious loft apartments are always a little more like a genuine home when they feature a large recliner like the David. Best of all, it features an authentic ultramodern style that won’t go out of fashion anytime soon. While it’s made the list for 2020, there’s no reason to suspect that it won’t continue to appear on modern furniture lists for many years to come.

5. Motion Recliner Sofa Alba

Sometimes simple is best and in fact, minimalism often gives the greatest taste of futurism. Nowhere is that more true than with the Alba motion recliner sofa. Its overall lack of defining features is its defining feature. In many ways, you could compare it to the Swiss style of art and typography in that its drastic minimalism makes it an absolutely gorgeous piece to add to your home. If the Alba was a typeface, then it’d be a sans serif one.

Ultramodern furniture never goes out of style no matter how long you keep it around. Since everything from Sofa Dreams is designed under the exacting regulations of the European Union, you can be sure that it’s going to be around for quite some time. Make sure to contact us online so we can help you pick out a piece that’s going to fit your space.

Who doesn’t adore the feeling of sitting in a recliner when they’re relaxing? They have some great benefits, including the ability to potentially reduce the tension on your lower body. Unfortunately, some people don’t know how to buy just the right one. We took a moment to ask all the experts at SofaDreams for their favorite shopping tips and the best sofas that can fit in corners.

Always make sure that you’re looking for a piece that will fit the setting. For instance, the Boston sectional is a sectional lounge that can be rearranged in a number of pleasing patterns while still showing off all of its special features.

At the same time, you’ll want to make sure that the piece you select isn’t too big even if you can relocate it. Just because you have a small place doesn’t mean you can’t put a great piece of furniture in it. For instance, the Los Angeles design sectional is perfect for situations where you might have to squeeze something into an unusually-shaped place. Also, keep your eye out for something that can pull double duty when it comes time to fill out a living room.

Corner Sofas With Recliners

Look at the Maggio and Massimo recliners, which are both attractive options for those who want a piece that can hug their corners. This should serve as an excellent piece in almost any kind of room. Whether you have a home theater or you just want to spruce up the common area in a larger studio apartment, one of these pieces can be an ideal setting.

For that matter, these could be used in a professional area to put together what might be considered one of the truly all-time great waiting areas. You can add luxury and comfort to your reception.

Italian Leather Corner Sofas

Several Italian pieces feature sofas with recliners that can do the job of more than one piece of furniture. Consider the Pisa or Ajax motion recliners, which feature the same sort of reclining technology that you’d expect from a standard easy chair. Feel free to simply relax in these and lean back just like you would with any other piece of furniture.

Adoni motion recliners also feature premium thick Italian leather, which should stay looking great for a number of years. Just the bare minimum of treatment should be more than enough to keep these pieces of furniture looking perfect for years to come. Despite the stereotype, you actually won’t have to invest much time in maintaining a leather couch if you follow just a few simple pointers.

Shop Our Collection Of Corner Sofas And Sectionals At SofaDreams

So far, we’ve been over seven different corner sofas that feature these recliners and there are plenty others to chose from. Start by measuring the dimensions of the space you plan on installing a piece of furniture.

Once you have a good idea, take a look at all of the various options from our European-inspired collection that’s genuinely made overseas. You can then contact us and tell us which pieces are your favorites so we can get them out to you.

As every pet owner knows, a house just doesn’t feel like a home without your furry friend right there beside you. At the same time, however, the majority of pet parents will probably admit that they really could do without some pet issues, like hair shedding or sofas and sectionals that look old before their time due to cat scratching. On the other hand, maybe you made the mistake of choosing furniture in the past that just can’t stand up to pet-friendly living. There’s good news, though; you can avoid these issues!

Don’t Cover Up Your Piece Of Furniture

Have you ever been one of the many pet owners who has considered leaving your sofa covered with a sheet indefinitely? Many people do because their sofa or sectional just isn’t the least bit pet-friendly. If this sounds familiar, then it just might be time to start considering a sofa or even a sectional that is not just people-friendly but pet-friendly as well.

Whether you’re furnishing your newly-purchased home or just redecorating, at Sofadreams we have plenty of amazingly comfortable pet-friendly couches to suit all of your needs. Here at Sofadreams, we know that your pets are your family, so decorating with them in mind by shopping our sofa and sectional collection should be at the top of your to-do list.

The Best Couch For Cat Owners

When you have a cat, you want to ensure that your furniture won’t show visible claw marks. Cats enjoy scratching up what is forbidden to them, and you want insurance in case scratching posts aren’t sufficient. They also like to squeeze into hiding holes, so it’s best to provide those spaces and spots proactively.

Try to avoid leather because it will visibly show the wear and tear from an errant claw. This sofa, in particular, is made from woven fabric and is designed to provide comfort for both humans and cats. Any feline will also like the bed-converter feature because it provides new space for them. Get a tight-weave fabric option.

The Best High-Quality Couch For Dog Owners

Don’t think that you’re left out just because you’ve got a dog instead of a cat, either. Depending on the type of dog you have, you might have to deal with a significant amount of pet fur on a daily basis. Sometimes, this is enough to cause damage to couches.

Traditional upholstery has a tendency to collect fur, which then has to be removed using various potentially abrasive methods. Quite a few dog fanatics end up ruining their favorite couches using this process.

As a result, people end up with furniture that doesn’t last anywhere near as long as it should. You don’t want to have to deal with this situation, so you can invest in a pet-friendly couch that won’t collect nearly as much fuzz.

Some of our modern leather pieces are made of such durable material that they can stand up to the abuse that comes with having a dog on them. You might also consider designating a special section for your pet and training him or her to sleep there so you’ll always be able to watch exactly where they go. Of course, you’ll want to consider ottomans and other accouterments so you can have a complete living room set that’ll be perfect for your family as well as your four-legged friends.

Pet-Friendly Sectionals

Are you one of the many cat owners who want to have a beautiful sectional? If so, do you feel fear about choosing one that won’t stand up to the rigors of life with a cat? Don’t worry! Our extensive line of pet-friendly microfiber couches and sectionals of all configurations are the perfect match for your kitty.

Likewise, keep in mind that many dog owners have had a good experience using these microfiber coverings as well. Take a few minutes to think more about the length of your pet’s claws and their particular habits. Every animal has its own little quirks, and thinking more about them can really help to ensure that you get the best couch possible and enjoy it for years to come.

Unleash The Pet-Lover In You

Getting ready for unleashing your inner pet-lover is easy when you have pet-friendly furniture. After all, you can’t possibly let your pet lay on just any old sofa. Right? She deserves the very best.

A sofa or sectional from Sofadreams will help. That’s because we understand fine furniture and we also understand how to make it stand up to your pets as well.

Consider the fact that all of our European-inspired furniture is actually made in Germany by European Union-endorsed technicians. That means it has to adhere to certain strict guidelines laid out in EU rules. As a result, you can expect that your new pieces can hold up for a long period of time. In spite of the fact that your pet may be a little less than kind to your furniture, the sofas will remain standing!

Spoil Your Furry Friends

Our line of sofas, sectionals, and sofa beds gives you the opportunity for spoiling the furry little members of your family in a way that they truly deserve. You can do that with pet-friendly furniture that will easily fit into your current decor as seamlessly as can be.

For many of our Sofadreams customers, beloved pets play a very important role in their idea of what home and family mean. In fact, their furry friends often spend as much time on their furniture as they do. That’s why we’re so excited to be offering furniture solutions that are both fun and affordable for making your home a lot more pet-friendly for you both.

Once you do have a set in place, you’ll be able to keep it looking nice fairly easily too. Pet owners like to protect their investments, since their pets often end up falling in love with them as much as they do. You’ll love the fact that you’ll be able to keep your new sectional or couch looking good for a long period of time.

Contemporary furniture is great because it never goes out of style. Ultramodern pieces from today will look every bit as futuristic years from now, from chaise lounges to coffee tables.

That being said, you might be a little lost if you’re looking for curved contemporary sofas simply because there are so many different options to pick from. We asked the experts at SofaDreams to put together a list of the most important things to look for when shopping for ultramodern sofas.

Curved Leather Sofas

Curves are out and in at the same time. When you’re looking at sets of couches, you’ll want to keep bold angular lines in mind because so many European designers love to use them in new and exciting ways. Since straight lines are always able to fit well against walls, they’re also more space efficient in many cases.

You’ll be able to push an angular leather sofa up against a wall and use the added space to put in coffee tables or other accouterments. Some couch sets, like the Tampa 3-2-1, have tried to take advantage of this fact while still incorporating curves in some way. The ends maintain traditional curves while the back is straight to save some additional space.

Others, like the popular Beverly Hills, shake things up by completely eschewing the traditional rules of design. That can make these kinds of sofas ideal for those who want to make sure they have something that none of their neighbors are going to have.

Homeowners who want something traditional that still shakes up expectations will certainly want to look at the concept couches, which takes curvature in design to its absolute limits. They may also want to consider fabric coverings instead.

Curved Fabric Sofas

Fabric upholstery a real alternative that can be kept extremely clean due to advances in materials manufacturing. All of the European-inspired furniture we carry is actually made in Germany and has to adhere to EU mandates, which means that it’s completely made to last.

You can find fabric concept couches and other designs that are every bit as futuristic as what you might find if you restricted yourself to only leather. These can come with all of the optional extras that you’ve come to expect from ultramodern European furniture. At the same time, you might want to look into some models with swept-back curves that could do nicely in any situation.

Small Curved Sectional Sofa

Homeowners in smaller apartments or who dwell in a condo might need to look at small curved sectionals, which have all of the features of their larger counterparts but don’t take up nearly as much room. That makes them suitable for use in larger living rooms where you want to put in multiple pieces of furniture as well.

Regardless of what kind of needs you might have, there’s a number of options for each use case. You can mix and match different types of upholstery and colors until you have a set that nobody else has, even if you happen to live in a smaller place.
