New Classics: The Twilight Sleeper Sofa

We are living smaller and brighter these days, therefore we need hardworking, multifunctional furniture to help out us. Don’t fret; hardworking and sexy aren’t mutually exclusive. 1 piece available on the marketplace that’s irresistibly fashionable and superfunctional is the Twilight Sleeper Sofa.

When you’re scaling down, you do not dedicate an whole room to the two weekends per year that you put up out-of town guests. The Twilight will help your office change into a guest room at the flip of a bolster. Have a minute or two to sink into a single and see if it’s for you.

Actual Bliss Creative Design

The Twilight was the winning entry in a furniture competition at the Ã…rhus School of Architecture in Denmark in 1999. As you know, most furniture scores extra cool points simply for being Danish.

The designers mimicked a midcentury modern way of thinking: The sofa’s form is made up of an easy long cylinder bolster and a rectangular base/mattress.

Twilight Sleeper Sofa – $2,100

This sleeper couch has multiple functions. To change it from couch to bed, just pull the bolster. Now you’ve got just one bed. Pull the top mattress off and then put it alongside the base to create a bed that’s somewhere between queen and king size (cover it with king-size sheets). Separate the two to create twin beds.

In terms of aesthetics beyond the geometry, the piping details add thickness, emphasize the modern lines and provide the couch a more tailored look.

The couch has its own place between classic midcentury bits like a Noguchi Coffee Table and more contemporary pieces such as the Louis Ghost Chairs. Its style on the modern-contemporary slide rule falls somewhere between the two.

It may take on a more luxe look wrought from charcoal gray (this is the alluring I spoke of earlier).

If you’re considering a Twilight Sleeper Sofa, 1 thing that you should remember is whether you can live without couch arms. Many people today find an armless couch very uncomfortable and therefore not suitable for their main couch.

The couch is a good choice for bedrooms. In a child’s or teenager’s room, it’s the ideal extra bed for sleepovers. It serves as a cozy place for reading, napping or chatting on the phone throughout the other 29 sleepover-less times of the month.
