About Friends Sofa

What is the purpose of a sofa? To relax? But what about if you do it with the people you like most? That's the differential of the Sofa Friends. Designed to accommodate the user in an unusual and more friendly position: closer, face-to-face or seated, relaxed or lying down. It's not that ordinary TV sofa, it's more than that. It invites you to chat, discuss new ideas, change yourself, to go deeper in an intimate moment. A piece of furniture with a strong emotional design.
