5 THE CLASSICS

SOFA

Purchase a sofa with ‘excellent bones’ and you will be rewarded with years of service. Our rule is comfort above all else – yet keep style in the mix. The ‘Airport Sofa’ (pictured) is big enough for a crowd to gather ... or keep it all for yourself, stretch out and enjoy. Airport Sofa by Paola Navone for Poliform

DINING TABLE

A dining table is at the heart of our home; memories are made there, we create, quite often work, and yes, dine there. Go as big as your space can afford, and opt for a tabletop requiring little care (or one that ages beautifully with a little patina). ‘Quay’ indoor/outdoor ceramic top is our pick.
