Of course it began with a search for the right sofa
So I have a story for you, ye readers of AsIbesoughtuther: I was just poking around, looking at some furniture listings without any real purpose in mind, when I came across a vintage sofa with hidden compartment vibes. You know the type—classic, some-wood-legs, flower-upholstered. Quirky in all the right ways.
But the thing that fascinated me were the zippers on the arms.
So OK, here’s your first impression: Zippers on a sofa? This is not earth-shattering stuff. But these were more than decorative. They were practical as they were easy to remove and attach. It was like finding a secret drawer in an old bookcase, a wonderful surprise that made me appreciate the piece in a whole new way.
