A friend of ours has been on the hunt for a similar sofa to the one in Liam Neeson's flat in the feel-good holiday movie, Love Actually. After taking a closer look at the sofa, we began to notice the whole flat: it's chockfull of art, books, and quirky modern pieces that manages to fuse an architect's sense of modern style with cool kid-friendly touches. More photos after the jump!

Entryway with multiple art on one wall and a large framed kid's drawing grouped with a dainty portrait and black and white photographs.

Entryway with art grouped together on different walls and a huge mirrored vintage Laundrette sign.

Wall of books with a metal spring chair in the corner.

Super sleek stainless kitchen...with Frosted Flakes and a glass cylinder of lemons.

I bet that Navy Plaid sofa becomes fashionable...
...so much better than the current "Taupe Microfiber" trend.
I have the Crate and Barrel Cannes sofa. It's a bench style with loose cushions and is the most comfortable couch I've ever had. It looks really nice, much more relaxed than in the C&B photos and is great with throw pillows. Very similar to the reference pic. I normally like very clean-lined sofas, and this one is a good mix of comfort and overall simple lines.
Not sure if they still have it in the smaller size (88 inch) but here's the giant one...

I have been in love with this sofa and apartment since I first saw the movie years ago. Glad someone else finally finds the place interesting and fun.
This is my absolute favorite movie ever!
Love Actually is my FAVORITE all time movie! And I immediately noticed how beautiful the flat was. I love all the pictures hanging on the walls.
have wanted that couch since the movie came out, so i can't blame said friend for trying to find it
love the launderette sign, i found the company that makes them http://www.launderettesigns.com , i want one so much!
I love the flat and the movie if I lived in London I would have a flat like that. I got my Launderette sign from Signs for Homes they are much cheaper.
sorry, wrong link...Signs For Homes
