    Default HM Sofa Advice

    Hi,

    I’m in the market for a new sofa in the style element of mid century modern. I’ve narrowed my choice between HM’s Bowery Sofa and Bakers Framework Loveseat. I love the baker piece but the price has made look at the Bowery. I would like to get everyone’s opinion on the Bowery Sofa from a style and comfort perspective? Also, I’d like to get one’s thoughts on the leather color, Kip Shell? Any idea on how it will age?

    I’m definitely not diggin’ the Baker sofa, I think the styling is strange and I can see that if I owned that I would have bleeding ankles and stubbed toes in a big way from whacking the outside edges and that sharp foot out front. What were the designers thinking on that?. Be sure to look at the practicality of a design and how it would be in day to day living. That one I would classify as almost hazardous.

    The H&M styling is much more fluid and put together. Kip is fine, but you will have this sofa a long time so get what you like. For entry level leathers, my favorite is Nirvana - how that is justly a GR 1 price is a mystery to me, it looks and feels far more expensive. I just ordered a Hancock and Moore Tufted Bed for the showroom yesterday and spec’d it in Nirvana Linen with Bark wood finish - that’s how I’d do that Bowery sofa, too.
