The moment you start living on your own, decorating your living space and selecting the furniture quickly becomes a priority. The living room is pretty much the starting point of this adventure thus a comfortable sofa is the initial furniture piece we are on the lookout for.

For design lovers it gets somewhat more complicated, while shaping a stylish living space they are on the lookout for sophisticated design pieces for their living and family room. Thus for many designers dominating the furniture scene, creating the right sofa for their collections becomes a true task. These designer sofas can come for a hefty price, yet you will have to take in account the value of such an item in your home, the manual labor and the craftsmanship as well as the design value. Even if you are looking for a well known and replicated piece such as a chesterfield sofa you will be able to find design variations on the theme, coming from the celebrated furniture houses but also independent designers.

A well made designer sofa might cost you from one to a few thousands and it might even be more than expensive than a small car, yet owning a designer sofa in good condition is a true investment piece. Even few years later, a sofa by a well respected designer or a furniture house won’t use much of its value, if any. In some cases designers often work on limited edition lines, which once out of production can reach even higher value than you acquired them for.

Still, if it comes to cutting down budgets a lot of these coveted pieces are replicated in one shape or another by mass manufacturers. Whether you are about to inspired or you are hunting for a designer sofa we selected five of currently favourite DESIGN SCENE Magazine pieces.

THE CURVE BY ADRIAN PERSALL at RH MODERN GALLERY

Designer Adrian Pearsall‘s unique design lines at RH Modern Gallery in Los Angeles were taken to design the Curve’, ‘Serpentine’ and ‘Stratus’ sofas collections. These pieces are not as expensive as space demanding, this sort of a sofa will demand a massive living room, but it is also a good solution for an office space lobby. In fact RH Modern Galley keeps one of these pieces in their reception area. The sofa was originally design in the 1950s, and the original design was for a long time part of the RH office. The team at the design company had to contact Persall’s estate before acquiring the permission to reissue the original design. Thanks to their investigative work you are able to find on the market the three seating collections by Pearsall – Curve, Serpentine and Stratus.
