A blend between quaint and modern elements, it has a beautiful French feel about it that is due not only to its slim silhouette, but also its [quilted seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t4-sofa). Not to mention that it also boasts a slight vintage aesthetic that recalls the 60s, making it something that could easily be seen on the set of 'Mad Men.' Designed by [Cassina](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volage-exs-slim), the 241 Prive Sofa is made out of aluminum and leather.
