If you've got any doubt that luxury is back, turn your eye toward the Forte Channeled Sofa by CB2, a piece that invites daydreaming and evening lounging in equal measure.

Available in Charcoal Velvet or Saddle Leather, Forte is a generous sofa designed by Spanish group Mermelada Estudio. While it's soft, Forte is also firmer than other sofas, making it a great choice for hospitality venues, as it accommodates sitters of all ages.

A low-profile wood base with a dark walnut stain grounds the piece in a band of organic splendor, rooting the sofa beautifully.

If you're like George Costanza from Seinfeld, you'll love the velvet version of Forte, with its sensual upholstery. For lobbies and guest areas with a more masculine flair, opt for the 100% buffalo aniline-dyed leather.
