Sleep or Sofa

Rochester Sleeper Sofa in Lagoon Performance Velvet
(What is 'Performance Velvet' anyway?)

Hoping to convince our respective families to spend Christmas at our house this year--with visions of a real tree propped in the front window and a giant dinner around the new dining table dancing in our heads--we are now on the hunt for a sleeper sofa for the downstairs den. Admittedly sofa beds have a well-deserved reputation; typically too stiff for sitting on as sofas, too uncomfortable for sleeping on as beds. So I'm hoping to overcome the stereotype by finding one that our guests practically fight over when they come to visit---that is also affordable. Impossible, you say? Well, I've consulted the authorities and having gagged at most of the price tags, struck out on my own and found SALES! We're planning to roll around on some in person this weekend, but in the meantime, what do you think about these contenders?

Artwork of the Week: Position 2 of 4: Untitled


Position 2 of 4 : Untitled
2013, C-print, 11" x 14"
work by Pooneh Maghazehe
photographed by Nicolas Scordia

This image looks grimy, damp, and unsettling. And I really love it. Another amazing work by Pooneh Maghazehe produced during her most recent trip to Berlin. You can see more from this series (Four Positions: Untitled) plus other great stuff on the artist's website:
