So sweet of you to consider/mention the vegan aspect of design It has definitely slowed down the furnishing process in my current home

TOGO, BELLINI, TERRAZZA, CLOUD are all a big fat, hard NO for me and that's irrespective of price. I am 5' 8.5" tall and my family members are taller still. No short people sofas for us ever. Please showcase sofas that are tall people friendly and not for lounging. When I want to lie down, I do so in bed. I want my sofa sophisticated enough to have folks over for conversation, not lying around. Think of two sofas facing each other and the fireplace lit. I prefer my sofa elevated, creating a light and airy environment. I like my cat to be able to take refuge under the sofa. I like being able to see the floor underneath the sofa. The right sofa is a personal preference, not a trend. Thank you for keeping it real with both the pros and cons of these popular sofas. That said, I do like a lot of RH furniture, especially their dining room tables.

In Europe these sofas are not considered low. They are normal. I’m not sure why beds and sofas are so high in the US. I am always so shocked to see high beds with box springs to make beds even higher!

I am so satisfied with my basic, perfectly fine, velvet sofas after hearing what a sofa that costs as much as my car is like. The terrazzo (?) one, the 💩sofa, looks practical if you're assembling a herd of chihuahuas for a photo shoot.

Togo defender here: we have had one for 25 years now, and still love it. Y'all know it comes in a version with arms, yes? The plus side of the version with arms is that the kids when they were little could couch surf with ease, and sonny boy realized that a twin fitted sheet fits over the top easily for a quick pillow fort base. And despite such kid abuse, 20 years on it still is great! Yes about the low profile and getting in and out. My folks use the regular non-Togo side chairs in the family room instead.
@mymasmith7848

Also, back when, Ligne roset had a mini and micro Togo versions, so we got one for each kid. (siblings, sharing, hard) As a plus, the mini's were easy structural add to sonny boy's pillow fort.

By “frequent fluffing” I think you mean that RH technically recommends that you fluff the cushions EVERY TIME you stand up, that is one high maintenance sofa 😂 I used to be in furniture sales and none of us would touch that sofa in the last 30 minutes of being open because unless the doors were locked and everyone was out, you knew once it was fluffed someone would sit on it and you’d have to do it all over again. Love the video though! I agree I’ve have always seen 💩 with the terrazzo haha

My issue is.. that to me every single sofa looks ugly. Like I looked through entire catalogues and they all just look.. Ugly! Or if they are beautiful then they’re like hard and stiff and clearly uncomfortable looking, more like decoration. Idk what to do, I’m supposed to get my first proper sofa ever soon.

i've had Flexsteel and La-z-boy my whole life, but our new Stickley sofa and loveseat are coming day after tomorrow (eeeeee, so excited 🥰) Maybe i'm a tad on the boring side, but i'll take my stuff over these fancy sofas any day. When i see some of these like that first one, i always wonder how a pregnant person gets out of them. If it had been me, i would have had to birth and raise the kid right there the whole time. The Terrazo sofa, though, could be the perfect way for parents to keep their kids entertained without having to buy a trampoline -- something to be said for that, i guess. 😀

As far as the ligne roset sofas are concerned, I unfortunately have to disagree. I took over Togo elements from my parents after they were supposed to be reupholstered, but my mother no longer liked them for orthopedic reasons. My upholsterer, a great craftsman, found them a nightmare also because of the poor quality of the foam. Other than that, B&B Italy, the quality and service are fantastic. Couch elements from the 70s have still not been worn through, although 6 children and now also grandchildren have made extensive use of them. B&B continues to supply the appropriate materials even after decades. Yes, B&B is expensive, but compared to ligne roset, it's worth every EURO, formerly Lira or DM. ;) By the way, I love your channel!!

This video illustrates a pet peeve that I have about contemporary design and designers, and this pet peeve even extends all the way to architecture and architects. Contemporary designers seem to be ONLY visual in their orientation and considerations. Have they never even heard of "form follows function"? Did they not study any of the truly great mid-century designers (not the schlock mongers of that era) who took both aesthetics AND function into account? Are they so egotistical that they can rationalize selling beautiful garbage at inflated designer prices to gullible rich people who have more money than they can spend intelligently? My God, stupidity, ego, and luxury seem to go hand in hand.
@mrphoenixgrey
@mrphoenixgrey 9 месяцев назад
Sometimes people cannot have style or taste no matter how much money you have. They get it for the look, with no thought about the actual function in a space. What a privilege that would be I don’t think I’d ever afford that luxury

Daddy, sorry but I really hate every one of these you have highlighted. My major problem is that they all attract too much attention to themselves, so everything else in the room would not even be noticed. Man, they are are pathetically ugly, and I would be confused as to where to even sit. Form is emphasized over function to the point that function is completely disregarded. These sofas that scoff the idea that one would only want to sit down is ridiculous. I guess they are all merely a terrible joke to people with too much money and no brains. With that in mind, this review is entertaining. Reminds me of Kim K. paying big money to have the world worst living room. She is the brunt of a joke, but doesn't have the sense to realize it. The cloud is not bad. However, it would have to constructed to bounce back perfectly with NO fluffing ever needed. BTW, I researched your "UP chair", and really like the form of it. My eyes only gravitate to the disconcerting seams of that stripe. The solid fabric versions allow me to appreciate the graceful and comfortable form of it. 🥰

I’ll start with the positive: you both are adorable and the home’s staircase is nicely done. But sorry (you did ask) the house is a hodgepodge of bad space planning. Too many odd and small spaces. It should have been expanded further into the back garden. Do the kiddies really need such an expansive playground? And a guest house house?A home of this stature needs larger rooms. And it begs for more formal spaces for dining and reception. I do appreciate that the garage is underground. Great place for cars. Not people. The basement is void of all natural light. Too depressing and cave-like. Had the floor plan been expanded to some of the garden, those recreational areas would be bathed in sunlight. Whatever the price is for this residence is, I dare say I’d be spending an equal amount on Xanax to alleviate the anxiety caused by living in such a dark, cramped house.
