When it comes to interiors, everyone seems to have their head in the clouds at the moment. There's something about the light, billowing imagery it conjures that's inspiring designers — look no further than Pantone, which just crowned ‘Cloud Dancer’ its highly anticipated color of the year. And now, sofa brand Swyft has taken the trend one step further, launching a design that encapsulates the feeling of plush, fluffy luxury with its nickname: The Cloud Sofa.
Formally known as Model 13, it's the brand's first use of a hybrid feather and hollow fiber cushion blend. That's what gives the sofa that proper “sink-in feeling”, John O’Leary, design director of Swyft, tells me. “Put simply, it’s the comfiest sofa we’ve ever made. It’s designed for real life: sprawling, snoozing, stretching out, and staying put.” Put even simpler, it’s like sitting on a cloud. And isn't that what makes the best sofa? Editor Hugh Metcalf noted in his review of Swyft sofas that while he found them comfortable, they've historically been more on the firm side, because of their foam bases, so this might be a bit of a game-changer for the brand.
