Modern Sofas
A modern sofa is defined by clean lines, minimalist details and contemporary materials. It is the foundation of a calm, present-day interior where form and comfort come together. At Mokana Meubelen in Enschede you can choose from more than sixty-five modern sofas in leather, microfibre, bouclé and velvet, in every format from compact to XL. So you will always find the model that suits your room and your style.
What defines a modern sofa?
Modern sofas have clean straight lines, upholstered or deliberately slim armrests and a low back, usually between 60 and 75 cm high. The legs are metal in black, bronze or brushed gold, or they are hidden under the sofa for a floating effect. The colours are often neutral, think grey, beige, black and white, or else a bold statement accent. Less is more: the strength lies in the pure form.
Material and upholstery
For modern sofas the fabric and leather choices are premium: they feel soft and are properly hard-wearing. Microfibre is practical and family friendly, velvet gives a luxurious modern look, bouclé is on trend and tactile, and leather in a matt finish is timelessly modern. High-tech fibre blends feature as well. Which you choose depends on how you use the sofa and the mood you are after.
Choosing a colour: neutral or statement?
Neutral colours such as grey, beige, black and white are classically modern and easy to combine. If you want more character, choose a bold colour accent such as green, terracotta or anthracite. In small rooms pale tones look visually calm, while a dark sofa forms a sleek, understated focal point. A modern sofa can also work perfectly as a contrast alongside warmer, natural elements.
Combining in a modern interior
Place a modern sofa in a room with matching modern furniture: sleek coffee tables, minimalist lighting and considered, sparing decoration. In modern style the rule is: less is more. Let the sofa breathe and give it room, and the shape comes into its own.
