Good Questions: What Couch Is This?

Hello AT,

I really would like to know who the manufacturer of this couch is, as it would go really well in my living room.

I have sent a question in to Shaw Floors who ran this print ad, but I have had no response so far.

Thanks, A.

Dear A, Oo! Oo! Oo! We can see a hand straining in the back row, just dying to answer this question. Alright, go ahead... click here (or read below).

B&B Italia has a big sale once a year where everything is marked down... if you can wait you could save some money (I think the full price of this is around $10,000 per piece)

That configuration of the Charles in leather would be closer to $20K, actually.

I have seen similar looking couches on a lot of websites like this one: http://www.design-eu.com/ (I just got an email from them today with a fabric couch that looks sort of like the b&b italia one, but in orange.)

There are quite a few sites like this one, but I don't know anything about the quality of their merchandise.

Not as sleek looking as the one above, but the Albero Sectional in Cream from DWR is similar, as is the Neo Sectional...just a thought.

NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL ANTONIO CITTERIO CHARLES SOFA. ASK KATHRYN SHE JUST RECEIVED HERS!

And apologies to Alesia - I did not see your post before now. I still recommend Europebynet.com and will post more if anyone is interested. The dollar is off its lows now so savings will be even better. I will post in the recommended stores section.

If you can afford it, this piece from B&B is absolutely fabulous, quality and design wise... and of course there is a high price to pay. :( However, I agree with Krista on both the Albero and Neo sectional sofas. The designer for the neo sofa is Niels Bendtsen, and you make want to see other of his designs, both quality and design are excellent, and the cost is 4k.
