Soft furniture is the soul of any interior. It is not just about functionality; it defines the atmosphere of the room, dictates the level of comfort, and speaks volumes about the owner’s taste. Whether it’s a living room sofa where the family gathers or an office chair where critical decisions are made, the quality of materials and design is paramount.
At Merlons, we curate collections from the world’s leading manufacturers to bring you furniture that blends aesthetics with durability. Let’s explore the key categories and the iconic brands that define them.
1. The Living Room: The Sofa as a Centerpiece
The sofa is the anchor of the living room. Modern trends favor modularity, organic shapes, and tactile fabrics.
Scandinavian Luxury (Bolia): If you appreciate “New Scandinavian Design,” Bolia is the benchmark. Handcrafted in Denmark, models like Cosima, Noora, and Sepia offer deep, lounge-like comfort with natural materials (wool, recycled fabrics, leather). They are designed for longevity and timeless style.
Italian Modularity (Pedrali): For those who love contemporary Italian aesthetics, Pedrali offers playful yet sophisticated designs. The Buddy collection, with its friendly curves and modular nature, allows you to create unique seating arrangements.
Reception Spaces (Miago): For lobbies and waiting areas, Miago provides sleek, durable, and stylish single-seaters that make a great first impression.
2. Accent Chairs & Poufs: The Details Matter
A living room isn’t complete without the supporting cast. Armchairs and poufs add character and functionality.
Wood & Textile Harmony: Pedrali excels in combining fine wood with soft upholstery. Collections like Hera, Jazz, and Malmo bring warmth and elegance to any corner.
Poufs as Function: A pouf is the most versatile piece of furniture. Use Pedrali’s colorful poufs as a footrest, an extra seat, or even a coffee table.
3. Fabric vs. Leather: Choosing the Right Finish
One of the hardest choices when buying soft furniture is the material. Both have their merits.
Textile Warmth (Bolia & Pedrali): Fabrics like “Nantes” or “Baize” used by Bolia offer incredible tactile comfort and warmth. They are perfect for living rooms where you want a cozy, “hygge” atmosphere. Modern fabrics are also treated to be stain-resistant.
Leather Prestige (Miago & LTForm): Leather conveys status and durability. For high-traffic areas like reception lobbies or executive offices, leather chairs from Miago or LTForm are ideal. They age beautifully, are easy to wipe clean, and maintain a professional look for years.
4. Sustainability: Furniture with a Conscience
True luxury today is sustainable. It’s about knowing that your comfort doesn’t cost the earth.
Certified Wood: Brands like Pedrali use FSC-certified wood (as seen in the Malmo and Hera collections), guaranteeing that the timber comes from responsibly managed forests.
Built to Last: Bolia designs furniture to last for generations, not just seasons. Investing in a high-quality sofa means you won’t need to replace it in a few years, reducing waste and saving money in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I choose the right size sofa for my living room? – Measure your space carefully. Leave at least 60-70cm of walking space around the sofa. If you have a large open space, a modular sofa like Bolia Cosima is perfect to define the zone. For smaller rooms, a 2-seater or a light frame design like Pedrali Buddy works best.
What is the “Martindale” cycle, and why does it matter? – Martindale measures fabric durability against abrasion. For standard home use, 20,000 cycles is enough. However, premium brands like Bolia and Pedrali often use fabrics tested up to 100,000 cycles. This means the sofa won’t show signs of wear or thinning even after many years of daily use.
How do I clean a velvet or wool sofa? – Regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment is key to keep dust away. for spills, blot (don’t rub) immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deep cleaning, we recommend professional dry cleaning foam suitable for the specific fabric code.
