Upholstered furniture has an appointment that few people think about: it is designed to communicate and exists, so that people can share news with each other, discuss current affairs and discuss in the most comfortable environment

There is an invisible connection between the subject of communication and the subject of the situation. For example, several English leather chairs, set in the office, have to informal male conversations. Classic Lavsit is an ideal place to discuss news that is interesting only to two close friends. On the couch, as if at a large dinner table, they often gather with their entire families, with cheerful, friendly companies, and table talks sparkle brightly here. And we write about all this only so that, choosing upholstered furniture, you think not only about your taste preferences, but also about the needs for communication.

It’s hard to resist universal advice: in the living room, in any case, you should put a spacious sofa - like what the company showed at the Milan Furniture Fair 2012 HALLEY ITALY. Its main feature is shape. It is composed of several modules, forming a wide open circle. Due to this, every person, even sitting on the far edge, will always be in the epicenter of the conversation.

We also recommend to pay attention to this type of upholstered furniture, like a couch. It is unfairly treated as something not worthy of attention. However, it was not without reason that it was popular in ancient times, when long conversations served people almost as the main entertainment. Recall the dialogues of Plato: philosophers and listeners gathered in some of the noble houses and for many hours - under a change of dishes and wines - they discussed their questions of being. A classic illustration of such meetings was the intersection of the Roman streets of Quirinale and the Four Fountains. True, there are not philosophers reclining on couches carved in marble, but Juno, Diana, Arnaud and Tiber.

You, too, do not deny yourself this divine pleasure. And if you suddenly begin to doubt the ability to conduct philosophical conversations, do not worry: among the ontological problems can even be attributed to the choice of style, this is a philosophical question. Either you accept things created according to a unified minimalist scheme, or you support craftsmen who create piece things. In general, the subject of discussion there is in any case, it remains only to choose the appropriate furniture.
