The Centrepiece
In the case of sofas, size does matter and maximising the available lounging space with a well-designed settee is the first thing to consider. A corner sofa is the ideal choice for larger living rooms, whilst doubling up as a partial room-divider in open plan spaces and loft apartments. Considering how many seats you’ll need in the long term, will sidestep the need to upgrade your sofa any time soon.
Corner sofas and three-seater sofas offer maximum lounging potential for those who like to stretch out and lay back. Whilst sofas with smaller frames and a compact footprint are ideal for apartments where space is at a premium.
The Modular Togo Sofa collection by Ligne Roset is the ultimate choice for spaces where flexibility is required. Available in various sizes and configurations, additional modules can be easily added as your household grows, allowing complete versatility.

Ambient Light
As the living space functions for various activities, whether it be hunkering down a movie, reading or entertaining guests, the lighting plan should reflect this versatility. Floor lamps provide focus within a specific area, ideal for creating a reading corner with your favourite lounge chair, whilst a statement suspension lamp or pendant light can become the focal point of the room. Meanwhile, table lamps emitting an ambient glow, instantly enhance the warmth of a space, whilst offering the flexibility to be easily moved to different locations.
