Setting up and styling a living room must be one of the most rewarding stages of any home project. Less functional than the kitchen and more flexible than the bedroom, it is a space that truly allows for a touch of ‘more is more’, be it in the form of an oversized sofa, a designer armchair or a sprawling wall unit that showcases your tastes, interests and personality.
We’ve teamed up with Form – a leading furniture company that’s home to a whole range of affordable luxury and premium brands – to curate a dream living room with stand-out pieces to inspire your own nook.
Colle by Natuzzi Italia
As the centrepiece and most-used piece of furniture in a living room, a sofa is the very item that makes this space. The Colle sofa, designed by BIG-Bjark Ingels Group for Natuzzi Italia, induces a state of relaxation with its looks alone through a rounded design and soft silhouette that draws inspiration from the brand’s early models.
505 Up System by Molteni&C
This classic modular system for the living room by Molteni&C is continually evolving to adapt to new styles of contemporary living. It’s a book case, display unit, storage solution and even a drinks cabinet should you wish (a fully-fledged bar system may be incorporated into its design) – making it aesthetically striking and versatile.
Paddle by Bonaldo
Designed by Mauro Lipparini for Bonaldo in a choice of walnut or coal oak, the Paddle low coffee table has a number of distinct features – clear-cut shapes for the tops and profiles, soft round edges and a load-bearing structure in bronze or metal that emphasise its light and linear design. A centrepiece and conversation piece.
Macao by Natuzzi Editions
If space permits, consider an additional seating option in the form of a cosy two-seater, such as this slender and extroverted sofa by Natuzzi Editions. Named after the Eastern region of Macao, it features a high back, wide seats and adjustable headrests and armrests for optimal and personalised comfort.
Sashi TV unit by Kave Home
With its straight-lined design and ageless style, this TV unit – a part of the Sashi collection by Kave Home – is versatile and adaptable. Made from solid teak wood with a brushed effect, it boasts a robust build, while two drawers with a soft-close system add the benefit of extra storage.
Roll by Bonaldo
Install it against a wall or into the ceiling as a room divider – either way, the Roll modular bookcase by Bonaldo brings with it a sense of playful elegance and sophistication, composed of a series of metal tubes with a lead finish, wooden shelves and contrasting supports. A box module is also available for storing objects.
Aster by Molteni&C
Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen designed the Aster coffee table for Molteni&C as an expression of craftmanship and composition. Created entirely by hand, the glass surface with a rippled underside gives the table personality, accentuated by a brass base in a hammered effect. It’s a designer piece with a bold presence.
Sashi sideboard by Kave Home
Also forming part of the Sashi collection by Kave Home is this multi-use, solid teak sideboard – an effective and practical piece of furniture in any living space. Featuring a brushed effect that emphasises the wood’s natural qualities, it’s a contemporary design piece with ample internal storage.
D.151.4 by Molteni&C
Designed by Gio Ponti, one of Italy’s masters of architecture and design, sometime between 1940 and 1950 and reproduced today by Molteni&C, this armchair – which was intended for use onboard ocean liners – is a piece with a history as well as a striking design that includes tapered legs in solid wood and brass, a contoured backrest and a distinctive character.
Stripe by Rimadesio
A double-sided partition such as Stripe by Rimadesio is capable of creating a room within a room. This sliding panel, designed by Giuseppe Bavuso, has horizontal crosspieces on both sides, making it equally attractive from every angle, while a heat-treated oak or walnut finish ensures a warm yet sophisticated appearance.
