Sofas are always the main talking point at Milan Design Week. It's now that the most influential design brands in the world launch their new collections, and they always include at least one hero sofa.
Why? As the legendary designer Francesco Binfaré told a select group at Milan's Design Museum on Monday (there to launch a new exhibition celebrating his work with Edra), sofas are 'like concrete, or bread. They're the solid foundation on which life is built, and essential to everyday living'. A charming description, and one that shows why Italians put so much store behind them. They're the true heart of the home.
