A scalloped backrest and red velvet with a retro feel

The backrest is divided into about ten vertically stitched lobes that continue into the armrests and wrap around the seat. This rounded silhouette belongs to the retro and Art Deco repertoire, where the shell shape often appears in living room furniture. Velvet catches the light: under dim or colored lighting, the red takes on more depth, which works in its favor at an evening event. Slim legs with a gold finish leave the underside of the seat visible and make a fairly wide piece look lighter.

Where to place this red sofa at an event

Red and gold point straight to cabaret and Roaring Twenties codes. For a Gatsby party or a cabaret lounge, set it facing a round coffee table, with brass, smoked glass and a few green plants around it. At a gala dinner, it marks out a sitting area away from the tables, where guests stop between the evening's key moments. In December, it fits into a Christmas setting alongside fir green and off-white. Its color also suits a Valentine's Day evening.

Putting together a red and gold lounge

To seat more guests without changing the palette, the red velvet corolla armchair uses the same color in a single-seat version. Sofa and armchair then form a matching set. For a more graphic look, other shell sofas in warm colors can be lined up next to it to structure a lounge area. As a photo backdrop, the scalloped backrest frames guests and stands out clearly on camera.
