Oval Entertainment Sofas

de Sede 152 is a Movie Heaven For Two

— January 13, 2008 — Art & Design
Do you really need any more furniture in your home after you've bought the DS 152 oval entertainment sofa? From the luxury of this elegant sofa designed by Jane Worthington for de Sede HOME of Switzerland, you can relax, entertain, eat, and even sleep. The ultra inviting oval shape is built to accommodate two - with the back and armrests warmly embracing the occupants from all sides. The palm-of-the-hand like sofa comes in various colors from dark and moody black, chivalrous and spacey white, to the flamboyant and flirty orange; coupled with its quality upholstery it makes it near impossible for anyone (or two) to escape its clasp.

The DS 152 is designed with entertainment in mind, with many options available to cater for most gadget lovers who desire class and convenience all in one spot. You can turn this sophisticated sofa in to a multimedia island and enjoy the benefits of a flat-screen monitor from where the fun is taken to another level as you access TV, video, DVD, or the Internet.

This has everything you could wish for in a sofa and is where the furniture of the future will have taken their lessons from. That said however, I think they should take another look at the options available for the DS 152, as I personally think there is room for some sort of refreshments or snack bar; office annexe; and for those you get too attached to the DS 152, a body odour detector.

Trend Themes
1. Multimedia Sofas - There is an opportunity for designers to create sofas that are equipped with multimedia capabilities, such as flat-screen monitors and internet access, to cater to gadget lovers.
2. Luxury Home Furniture - The demand for high-end, elegant furniture pieces like the DS 152 oval entertainment sofa highlights the opportunity for the luxury home furniture market to expand.
3. Customizable Seating - A disruptive innovation opportunity lies in creating sofas that offer customizable options, such as incorporating a snack bar, office annexe, or specialized detectors.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - The furniture manufacturing industry can explore the market potential of producing stylish and technologically advanced sofas like the DS 152.
2. Home Decor and Interior Design - The home decor and interior design industry can capitalize on the trend of luxury home furniture by offering unique and elegant pieces to affluent customers.
3. Gadget and Electronics Retail - Gadget and electronics retailers can tap into the demand for multimedia sofas by partnering with furniture manufacturers to offer integrated, technology-enabled seating options.
