Domicil makes room for the festive season

From festive gatherings to everyday lounging, Domicil’s sofas and recliners adjust to changing needs

BY

From pre-Diwali deep cleaning, when sofas are pulled away from walls to tackle the dust underneath, to the sudden influx of cousins, uncles and neighbours looking for a place to sit, talk and watch TV, the festive season changes how we use our homes. The living room has to accommodate more people, more activity and more ways of relaxing. The latest collection by Domicil explores how sofas and recliners can accommodate the changing ways we use the living room, with movement and comfort built into their designs.

Permission to Recline

Domicil’s Z3 approach to comfort brings together three distinct functions: Zero Wall, Zero Obstruction and Zero Gravity. Each addresses a different aspect of how a recliner sits, moves and fits into the home. During the annual pre-Diwali deep clean, Zero Obstruction technology leaves space underneath the frame for a vacuum or robot cleaner to pass through, without having to move the furniture around.

Then, as the room is rearranged to make space for guests, Zero Wall technology allows the recliner to operate close to the wall, leaving more room for everything else. For older members of the family, Domicil also added a lift-assist TV chair that makes getting up from the seat easier. And once the guests leave, Zero Gravity technology moves the body into a deeply reclined position. Some recliners also add a gentle swing function, with a little back-and-forth movement built in. It is a chance to sit back and settle in comfortably after a long day

Making Room for More

How polite or exhausted your guests are tends to decide how a sofa should behave by evening, which is exactly what Domicil’s functional range is built around. Rotating seats turn into a chaise while adjustable armrests and moving backrests let the sofa alter its depth as the night wears on. An upright backrest keeps everyone comfortably upright for early-evening conversations, while reclining it lets them sink back later. On the nights celebrations run late, lift-up mechanisms on some sofas let the sofa turn into a bed, a useful backup when a guest ends up staying over.

For those who prefer a reassuring sense of permanence, Domicil’s stationary sofas are for anyone who believes a sofa should stay exactly where it was put. Classic silhouettes and bold structural forms sit alongside compact designs, with gracefully curved arms, refined metal legs, biscuit tufting and textured upholstery. Their generous seating and well-cushioned forms become especially welcome during the festive season, providing a reliable landing pad when the living room is at its busiest and people are parked everywhere.

Backed by German engineering, Domicil’s latest collection brings together stationary sofas, functional designs and recliners, each offering a different response to the way a living room is used. Some stay firmly in place, while others adjust, recline or reconfigure as the occasion demands. Once the last guest leaves, the decorations are packed away and the house settles back into its everyday routine; these pieces still feel right at home.
