2 sofas look great when you are needed extra seating for people but i really like the armchair /wingchair idea with a sofa. As you have chosen a modern take on deco i would look at a side table that encumpases that style but as said functionality is key. No good having one sofa if you have 5 guests. It sounds so beautiful so keep moving with your ideas and remember that sometimes ideas can change with different advise but you have to love it

annb1997 It is a Lafer, a very good brand, but expensive. I am going to look at a 2nd-hand one in a few days, half the price, hardly used and it is a lifter. Only thing is, it is cream. Will have to see if it goes with the sofa. It looks white in the photo. I was wondering if it would look OK in place of the sofa on the right. The lever you mentioned extends the footrest right out. There is another one on the right for the incline. The one I sat in is called New Thor and it seems to be identical to the Lifter. It is lovely and comfortable. Thanks for your advice, all of which I am following. You might also like to know that I have been recommended to walk in water, and that has helped. I am over the worst of it, having had a fractured vertebra, which has been fixed. I wish I had the chair then.

Stunning! If you contact Vampt Vintage Design, they may be able to at least tell you the name of the design/er.. http://vamptvintagedesign.com/product-category/chairs Also, Matt Blatt does great, quality replicas and I saw similar, but not exactly the same design in their catalogue. https://www.mattblatt.com.au/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAvKzhBRC1ARIsANEXdgyCuVyOY4r63pTpsiA8bm2X7EE_jjvQuee_lVWLFi2vDkPQSK8Zf-MaAtyXEALw_wcB

Problem with chase lounge is that it is all at same level. It is much more comfortable to have ottoman slightly lower than seat. There are other pros and cons to each
