Askona sofas

Choosing a sofa can be a difficult task, since you can easily get lost and confused among the abundance of offers. Many advertising tabloids advise to pay attention to the sofas from the brand Askona. Let us consider in more detail the history of the brand, the existing models of sofas, their advantages and disadvantages.

The Askona brand is a multi-million dollar corporation whose activity is aimed at the development of diverse goods, providing high-quality leisure and human sleep.

The company is of Swedish origin and is part of one of the largest concerns of the country, which indicates a high degree of professionalism in the production of goods.The very same concern Hilding Anders, of which the brand is a part, is considered to be the largest manufacturer of mattresses and beds in European and Asian territories.

Despite the Swedish roots and belonging to a foreign corporation, the company Ascona, nevertheless, is considered a purely Russian manufacturer of furniture for sleep and rest. The founder of the company is Vladimir Mikhailovich Sedov, and the appearance of the brand dates back to 1990.

Askona also produces comfortable high-quality sofas, which will be discussed further.

Sofas, as we know, are not only a successful addition to a stylish interior, but also a very functional part of it. This characteristic can also be attributed to Ascona sofas, which are not only a convenient piece of furniture, but also a very beautiful element in the arrangement of a cozy home.

The special features of the sofas of this brand include the fact that special orthopedic mattresses with independent spring blocks are used in their production.Such products have a special anatomical significance, since they provide a comfortable rest during the entire period of sleep.

The undeniable advantage of Ascona's sofas are strong frames and robust fastening and transformation mechanisms. With daily use, you can not be afraid that the sofa will fail at the most inopportune moment, especially since transforming sofas are prone to quick breakdowns.

Among the obvious drawbacks can be noted the overestimated cost of sofas, which is designed not for the mass consumer. Not every middle-income person can easily afford to buy this piece of furniture.

There are not so many types of sofas of this brand. Products are combined in the collection, the differences of which are in the design character, rather than functional, are most taken into account when choosing.

After all, the functional features of a product really play a role, and not how it looks. For example, not every model represented by this brand has orthopedic anatomical sofa mattresses.

But, nevertheless, this quality will surely become the main selection criterion for people suffering from back and leg pain. Since it is such a sofa that will suit them for daily sleep, providing a comfortable high-grade rest.

Absolutely all the sofas are transformers, because they have the function of folding, due to which they turn into a full double bed. The width of the bed will depend on the type of sofa:

• straight sofa is more compact and has a not so big berth;
• corner sofa more spacious, his bed, respectively, more.

Different sofas and size, and the mechanisms of unfolding bed. Consider the example of a comparative table of existing transformation mechanisms, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the characteristic dimensions.

It is noteworthy that in the range of furniture brand Ascona not only the sofas themselves are divided into collections, but also the material used to cover them. Let us consider in more detail the features and names of each subspecies.

Leather sofas look very beautiful, but may not always be practical. For their manufacture, although thick leather is used, it is still not natural, since its use in the manufacture of furniture would entail a very high cost of the product.

The imitation leather used to make Askona sofas is divided into several varieties:

• Fashion - in this collection the varieties of artificial leather are presented of rather bold and unusual shades. Such models are used to complement the most unusual and bold interiors;
• Elite - artificial leather refers to luxury materials, since the surface and some functional characteristics completely coincide with the properties and appearance of high-quality genuine leather;
• Vogue - high-quality artificial leather is presented in soft, elegant colors, such as tea rose and muted sea wave.

Fabric sofas are often much more practical, because in case of holes and cuts, it is enough to sew upholstery carefully.

Consider the most popular collection of fabrics used for the manufacture of sofas:

• Palladio - The collection of chenille fabrics has a huge color palette, as well as a decor in the form of a pattern in the Renaissance style;
• Flora - a collection of furniture chenille materials, presented in soft natural shades with decor in the form of sophisticated floral designs and embossments;
• Medichi - a collection of jacquard furniture fabrics, made under the inspiration of Florentine tapestry materials of the family in whose honor the material was named;
• Edinburg - the Scottish cage adorns this collection of fabrics from a furniture mat, which has a soft dense texture and a clear geometric pattern;
• Ludovik - furniture jacquard presented in this collection of fabrics has a bright unusual pattern, which is created using completely contrasting shades;
• Toskana - a collection of fabrics, the creation of which was inspired by the Tuscan provinces and architectural masterpieces of the Renaissance, is presented in the form of a furniture mat of noble soft shades;
• Amely - another collection of fabrics from textured furniture mat, presented in Provence style and decorated in appropriate ways - soft shades and delicate floral ornaments;
• Bernini - a collection of fabrics in the Baroque style, the era of ancient Rome, presented in the form of jacquard furniture material with a pattern, the ornament of which was inspired by the Roman Cathedral of St. Peter;
• Enrich - furniture velor, presented in this collection of fabrics, looks simply amazing, has a soft texture, similar to high-quality, dense velvet;
• Tiffany - the next collection of furniture jacquard fabric is presented in the form of muted shades and a pattern imitating sharp geometric shapes, similar to the details of jewelry.
