The Sebastian is a brilliant choice for compact living. Its design is sleek and modern, with clean lines and slim arms that maximise seating space without overwhelming the room.

The Hudson Sofa Bed

If you like to have guests stay over, the Hudson is a practical yet stylish solution. By day it is a smart, well proportioned sofa. By night it opens out into a comfortable double bed. It is a clever way to get the most from your living room without giving up valuable space.
