One conclusion I came to is that when it comes to new designs there is very little that is not influenced in one way or another by the past. Every now and then a great invention will change all of our lives, but in general, life moves through a gentler design process.
My discovery at the Roman palace has really stimulated my imagination to try and look back and create a timeline for the sofa throughout the ages. I wish to see how this vital piece of furniture has ended up where it is now, in the early stages of the 21st Century and I’m excited to see where we are heading in the future.
I would love for our customers to help me on this journey by sending in any images and information they have relating to the history of sofa manufacturing and design and why they think they are interesting.
