Furnish a small living room with a small sofa: Ajar Felis

Faced with a small living room, we must be convinced that the design furniture we will choose will have to be proportionate to the environment in which they will fit. As for the sofa, we do not recommend choosing a peninsula one because they are generally large. Even if the sizes allow you to insert it, it will steal attention from the other elements, compromising their visual harmony.

To furnish a small living room we can opt for Ajar Felis sofa, which we will choose with two seats. This furniture design, in addition to having elegant and sober lines, is also very comfortable thanks to the deep seats, large extra-large armrests and wide backrests. Its structure is made of solid fir wood, synonymous with resistance, while the padding of the back, headrest and armrests is in polyurethane foam, an extremely flexible and non-deformable material. The upholstery is available in leather or fabric, in different finishes and colours.

Furnishing a small living room with Ajar means choosing impeccable quality and aesthetics.
