I love this sofa because it reminds me of Karl Lagerfeld with his sky high collar and rich black textures. I can easily see him sitting here with a martini and a hot model for a photo shoot.

I have always had an infatuation with high back sofas and chairs. I’m not sure if its just because I am tall or that I like the comfort of having my back fully protected but I always manage to spot these great pieces from a  mile away.

I love how they can add drama and substance to any hallway, storefront, hotel or lounge and how they can make a room within a room.

I love this piece for its dramatic curves and stunning color. It would make for a very dramatic entry or a great prop for a photoshoot. I can see it in a high end lingerie or clothing store.

Such a natural beauty this sofa is both masculine and feminine and can fit into any home both contemporary or traditional depending on the color chosen. Anything by Holly Hunt is a one stop shop to a gorgeous interior if you have the pocket for it. I visited the showroom in Chicago to sit in all of the pieces I have specified through the years and never actually seen, yes they are even more splendid in person.

This feels like such an Audrey Hepburn sofa, soft and feminine with strong curves and style. It would look lovely perched in my living room or in my future walk in closet.

I love this piece by Edward Ferrell for ef-lm.com good structure and not heavy looking. I also have a minor obsession with bolster pillows which most certainly complete this piece. This loveseat also looks lovely in leather!

Same collection but in two different finishes this piece proves that it can go super feminine or ultra masculine. I love the twisted legs and criss-cross stitching detail. All the white one is missing is my monogram large scale in the center of the back!

Vienna Crafts Studio - Austria

Donna Sofa by Hans Hopfer

In 1903 Joseph Hoffman and Kolo Moser started the Wiener Werkstätte known in English as the Vienna Crafts Studio based on quality and craftsmanship. After a long history in 1986 Kapo took over the company and still runs it today.  Below are some of their great creations!

Consider using Neue Weiner Werkstaettes moderne and klassik collections for high end residential and hospitality spaces that require quality craftsmanship, timeless details and environmental consciousness. Some of these pieces have been represented through Roche Bobois since 1969. Hans Hopfer was one of the main designers who invented “seating landscapes” like his castell collection.
