On chilly November nights there is perhaps nothing better than exhaling as you cuddle up with pillows on your sofa. Watching a movie, sipping some wine, reading a book, or planning your next vacation – it all begins there. Knowing well what the welcomed, languid implications are that winter brings, a company based in Lissone, Italy – only about 20 km south of the Alps – designed a new collection to bring class and comfort into the place you’ll spend your hibernation time.

Class Container. Designed by Vibieffe.

The Modern Lap of Home Theater Luxury

The company goes by the name of Vibieffe, and although it doesn’t seem to translate into anything, nor is it named after anyone in particular, they’ve been around since 1967. The new Class Container Collection has contains the Class Container sofa with more definition than their detailed history. With a defined silhouette, it features a very high back and soft edges. It reminds me of an ideal place for tall people to take a load off as well as the perfect home theater set up. Even if you don’t get into the high tech system for movies – and you rent them off of iTunes like some of us nomads – the impression of being in a drive-in, with the wrap around feel of the Class Container couch, gives you the cozy feel of being at home no matter where you are.

Besides the sofa, the Class Container seating system has three other matching seating units: the long, chaise-longue chair, the high-backed chair that resembles a modern throne, or “bergère” of sorts, and lastly, an armchair that is traditional in size and volume but matched in style. Each seating unit comes upholstered and Vibieffe offers over 40 different patterns, colors, textures, and materials to choose from. In fact, you can also choose to have the feet made in wood or metal.

With an instantly satisfying effect as we go headfirst into winter weather, the Class Container sofa with its tall back and cupped shape, will make frigid nights that much warmer.
