Simply Sofas - So Fa So Good

Winter has a way of quietly rearranging our priorities. Evenings stretch longer, guests linger a little more, and home becomes less of a place to pass through — and more a place to settle into. This is the season of staying in. And at the heart of it, sofa beds emerge not as solutions, but as thoughtful design statements — ready to receive whatever the season brings. Read on as we take you through sofa beds that invite you to lean back, slow down, and embrace the season. Daphne  arrives like a soft curve against a cold skyline. Designed by Daniele Della Porta, its sinuous, rounded silhouette feels designed for evenings that begin with tea and end beneath a throw.

Available in a larger version that stretches luxuriously into space, Daphne feels less like a sofa that converts, and more like a room that gentl...

Over 25 years, Simply Sofas has been synonymous with a celebrated ensemble starring the world’s best brands. The newest addition to this list of design’s elite hails from Milan, the world’s design capital – a brand known for its commitment to craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation.  Estro Milano’s story begins in the sun-drenched lands of Puglia, where in 1956, Giuseppe Sardone founded a humble, artisan workshop dedicated to creating elegant upholstered sofas, armchairs, and complements. But its roots stretch even further back, to the 18th century, when the Sardone family’s workshop crafted upholstery for the aristocratic elites of the Murgia region.  Today, Estro’s headquarters stand in Milan — a deliberate decision that marries its proud Puglian heritage with the refined traditions of Brianza’s woodworking ateliers. This union of south-Italian warmth and northern craftsmanship is what gives Estro Milano its distinctive voice: deeply crafted, thoughtfully designed, and unmi...
