Abstract

Italian designers are known for their use of reclaimed materials to create a unique atmosphere. Their designs are creative, inspiring and innovative, with a blend of humanism and technical prowess. The production of a sofa is quite a complex process in which all the elements in the production of a sofa should be covered.Italian design influences sofa production too much, as it offers many types of models on the market that meet all the standards of the buyers themselves.Each sofa has its own characteristics, but the Italian sofa is very different from the Macedonian sofa, first of all it differs in shape, color, stages of production, functionality and then other minor characteristics such as materials. The paper lays out the main differences and similarities between the Italian design and the Macedonian regarding the sofa as a main element in the interior.
