Arflex Strips Sofa by Cini Boeri for Arflex from Studio Italia.

These velvet furniture pieces will add richness and textural contrast to any room

Long beloved for its ability to add sumptuous texture to an interior arrangement, velvet furniture is still making its presence felt — literally — with tactile charm. Double down on the sensory effect with a piece like Michel Ducaroy’s Togo sofa (pictured below); already distinctive for its bunched fabric rolls, the addition of velvet takes it to another level.
