I've been on the prowl for a sofa for 2+ months now. Still nothing. Arghs!!! There aren't that many leather, 3 seater, square armed, chrome/steel legged sofas out there.

did you check out the leather Natuzzi posted?
seats 3 (but only has 2 cushions), square arms, metal legs might be an option you can get yourself.

could you post a pic of the look you're going for ... easier to help you source that way.

^Style Garage has a gorgeous white leather sofa--L-shaped--(regular availabe by order) for around $1600. I'm not a huge fan of non-coloured furniture, but for white leather, this couch rocked.

I've bought something from them in the past. The dimensions of the item and those on their website were completely off. They offered to return the item though, but I ended up just craigslisting it because I didn't want to deal with shipping.

Roche-Bobois will have exactly what you're looking for, but it'll cost you in excess of $8000. Have you thought about a custom build. I find you can get design/top grain leather/chrome legs/whatever for about 40% of the cost of a high end sofa. While still more than $2000, it's a lot less than $8000.

I like this sofa at stylegarage

I don't mind fabric either, but I have my heart set on leahter.

I may have to increase my budget

Have you tried Perez south of King on Bathurst?

Also, Bensen is a CDN manufacturer. Yes, it will be higher priced, but the quality is definitely in line with many Italian manufacturers at about half the price. You can find Bensen at Kiosk

Design within reach does an eames chair, but I think that's it's an officially licensed version so it won't be cheap...also, I'm not generally a fan of them, since everything has to be shipped up from their warehouse in san francisco (or some such place)...you can't pick anything up from the store.

It will be 15% off from tomorrow until Dec. 13... still very pricey!

You can often find original Canadian Modernist furniture and accessories at the Sunday St. Lawrence antique market. A couple of weeks ago I spotted a group of lamps designed by local industrial designer Court Noxon of Metalsmiths:

speaking of sales, does anyone know of any upcoming sales at stylegarage or casalife? The current casalife sale is for floor model furniture and all the good pieces are gone.

Couple pieces I have my eye on, but not willing to pull the trigger at the current inflated price.

Boxing week and new year's sales. Can you sit on the floor for another month?

these guys are pretty good on Queen West:

I bought a dining table and four chairs from blvd a year and a half ago and they are wearing very well. We use them all the time and they still look brand new. They seem well-made and were easy to put together. Not expensive, either.
