Another beautiful bed we came across on the Alivar website was the Boss Bed. Aptly named,  since the bed commands respect and leaves quite an impact. Made of beechwood slats and having a steel tube painted or chromed base, the bed is chic and contemporary. You can order it online from here and it is available in shades like white beige and black.

The Feng bed from Alivar has a typical Italian styling and will appeal those who have a penchant for clean contemporary lines.  The low-profile bed has ben designed by Giuseppe Bavuso who has upholstered the steel frame in  polyurethane foam and macron.

Daytona Armless Sofas and Chairs

It is hard to imagine a sofa without any arms but thats the design path taken by Busnelli with the Daytona armless sofa. Thanks to its generous proportions, the sofa can also moonlight as a daybed and is perfect to lounge around on a Sunday. The spring seating is padded with polyurethane foam and one can upholster it in leather or cotton.

The lamp resembles a sea creature floating in the ocean and comes with clusters of LED’s strategically embedded at the cross-points of the hard polyurethane foam form. The lamp even comes with mirror reflectors attached with magnets so that they can be easily repositioned to make the lamp reflect light in different directions.

Here is a floor-level chair which should be ideal for people used to sitting on floor-levels. In fact you may want to call it an over-glorified solution, turning standard Japanese seating into sofas which do offer some comfortable seating solutions.

Umarmung, also known as the floor-sitting couch, is basically a backrest that supports the body in many comfortable positions while that person is sitting on the floor. It is made of reinforced polyester resin with steel support. Cover is eco-friendly flame-retardant polyurethane foam.

Daybeds are so passé especially when you can get one of the these. Actually I jest since these are too adventurous for my taste and would be well suited for outdoors rather than indoors. The Pratone lounge chair by the Gruppo Strum group is made from polyurethane foam. No prices for guessing the source of inspiration for this!

A home may not always be complete without the traditional sofa and depending on the design preference, it could be costly. But a good alternative is to perhaps contract good designers and furniture makers to create a copycat image to which you may have to pay less.

There are a lot of upholstery makers and designers out there who can get the job done and among them include the likes of Ameer Radwan who manages Couch, a shop located in Fremont. With more than 200 custom made models in their wing, you are bound to find a sofa that may be familiar but costs less. If not, you can perhaps ask them to make you one based on the couch or sofa that you are aching to have but unfortunately cannot afford.

Radwan is proud to be able to provide eco-friendly couches as well. He tells me that to be considered eco-friendly, a couch must be made with Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, organic latex instead of standard polyurethane foam, and water-based glues and stains on any exposed wood, as well as sustainable, non-chemically treated fabrics. An eco-friendly sofa from Couch will run you about $2,000, much less than the $5,000 $7,000 his competitors ask.
