The luxury sofa market is constantly evolving, with an increasing focus on quality, durability and aesthetics. More than ever, consumers are demanding products that combine style and functionality. At the same time, new trends in materials are redefining what a luxury sofa is all about. 

In this post we summarise the latest innovations in high-quality materials that are shaping the design of exclusive sofas – read on to discover them!

The latest in quality trends for luxury sofas

Among the innovations that are incorporated into luxury sofas, the most prominent trends are:

  • High-end leather and premium eco-leather. Leather remains an iconic material in the manufacture of luxury sofas, but the options are evolving into even more sophisticated versions. Leather offers unparalleled texture and durability.

And premium eco-leather, which mimics the look of real leather but is made from recycled resources, is gaining popularity as a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional leather. 

  • Natural and exotic fabrics. Natural fabrics, such as merino wool and linen, are becoming popular again for their comfort and ability to regulate temperature. 

Merino wool offers wear resistance and a cosy feel. Linen, on the other hand, is lightweight and breathable, perfect for warmer climates. In addition, exotic fabrics, such as velvet and chenille, are gaining ground for their texture and luxurious look.

  • Technologically innovative materials. Fabrics with advanced properties, such as stain and scratch resistance, are transforming the durability of sofas. 

Waterproof and easy-to-clean materials allow sofas to maintain their impeccable appearance over time. In addition, new developments in memory foam and ergonomic padding are improving comfort by adapting to the shape of the body.

  • Material combinations. The trend towards material combinations is allowing designers to explore new possibilities in luxury sofa design. 

The combination of leather and fabric, for example, can create interesting visual contrasts and offer the best of both worlds in terms of texture and comfort. Wood and metal details are also being integrated.

  • Sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Sofas made from certified sustainably sourced wood, recycled fillings and natural dyes are gaining popularity. 
  •  
In conclusion, new trends in luxury sofa materials are taking design and functionality to the next level. In turn, this is redefining what luxury means in the world of decoration. A series of trends that lead to a combination of style, comfort and environmental responsibility. At Ascensión Latorre we can help you choose the right sofa according to the current market trends.

A luxury sofa is an investment in style, comfort and quality that deserves to be preserved with the best possible care. To maintain its beauty and durability, it is essential to follow a series of specific care measures. Here are a few tips to keep your sofa in perfect condition over time – don’t miss them!

How to keep a luxury sofa in perfect condition?

Maintaining the appearance and functionality of your luxury sofa over time ensures that it continues to provide the comfort and elegance for which it was designed. Take note of these practical tips to keep it in top condition for many years to come:

  • Regular cleaning. One of the most important steps to keep your sofa in perfect condition is regular cleaning. Vacuum your sofa weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs and make sure you choose the right products for each type of fabric. For leather sofas, use a damp cloth to clean the surface and a leather-specific product every six months. For fabric sofas, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for stain removal.

  • Protect from sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can discolour and damage your sofa’s materials. Place your sofa out of direct sunlight or use curtains and blinds to protect it. If sunlight is unavoidable, consider using protective covers or specific sprays that block UV rays.

  • Cushion rotation. To avoid uneven wear of the filling, rotate your sofa cushions regularly. This helps distribute wear and maintains an even appearance. At the same time, turn the cushions over so that both sides receive equal use, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining their original shape.

  • Be careful with liquids and food. Avoid eating and drinking on your sofa to prevent spills and stains. If an accident happens, act quickly: blot the liquid with a clean, dry cloth, without rubbing, to prevent the stain from spreading. Then use a cleaner suitable for the material of your sofa.

  • Extra protection. Consider using protective covers or decorative blankets. These not only add a touch of style, but also protect the sofa from everyday wear and tear. In addition, waterproofing treatments can be an option to prevent stains and make cleaning easier.

  • Professional maintenance. Professional maintenance is recommended from time to time. Experts can perform a deep cleaning and apply special treatments that not only clean, but also protect the materials of your sofa.

By following these maintenance tips, you can enjoy the beauty and comfort of your luxury sofa for many years to come. Remember that regular care is the key to preserving your home investment and ensuring that every moment on your sofa is a luxurious experience.

In the vast universe of outdoor design, choosing the right furniture can be the key to transforming an ordinary space to an oasis of comfort and style. Among the most prominent elements, outdoor sofas occupy a privileged place. And if there is someone who understands perfectly how these pieces of furniture can make a difference in outdoor decoration, it is Ascensión Latorre, as we are experts in luxury outdoor design recognised for our expertise in the selection of sofas. If you want to know how the choice of a sofa can make a difference, read on!

How to choose sofas to make a difference

Outdoor sofas not only serve a practical function by providing comfortable seating outdoors, they can also become the centrepiece that defines the style and atmosphere of an outdoor space. At Ascensión Latorre we understand this perfectly and therefore excel in our ability to select sofas that are not only functional and durable, but also add a touch of elegance, luxury and personality to the environment. Here are some considerations you should take into account:


  • When choosing outdoor sofas you should check for resistance to the elements. Outdoor furniture is exposed to adverse weather conditions, from intense sunlight to rain and humidity.
  • Another crucial aspect is design. Outdoor sofas should complement the architectural style and overall aesthetic of the space, whether it’s a seaside terrace, an urban garden or a cosy backyard.
  • It is also essential to appreciate the versatility of outdoor sofas. Look for pieces that can adapt to different configurations and needs, from large social gatherings to intimate moments of relaxation. Modular sofas or sofas with storage options are some of the preferred choices, as they offer flexibility to create customised spaces to suit the occasion.
  • The choice of outdoor sofas can go a long way in creating a welcoming and memorable atmosphere in any outdoor space.

Ascensión Latorre proves that the right combination of quality, design and versatility can make the difference between an ordinary outdoor space and an extraordinary one. We can say that our expertise in sofa selection not only highlights our skill as designers, but we also seek to inspire others to think of outdoor furniture as an opportunity to express style, luxury and personality in the great outdoors.

More and more customers and consumers are demanding modifications to certain standardised furniture models that make their final product more unique and personal.

Quality, innovation, personalisation of the product and service are some of the priorities when creating, manufacturing and designing luxury furniture, investing what is necessary to reach the maximum splendor.

At Latorre, as a family business that designs and composes each of its pieces from scratch using processes that have a minimum impact on nature, we are much more than luxury furniture manufacturers: we are socially and environmentally committed. That is why we bring you this post to tell you how we do it.

The importance of choosing manufacturers with values

The main objective of many value-adding companies is to be able to focus on the consumer experience. We live in a world with a wide commercial offer of similar products or services. Every day people are faced with the dilemma of which product to buy or which service to choose.

The new end-user values are a challenge for those companies in the furniture sector that customise their products based on individual concepts. It is about buying quality of life, sustainability, distinction and glamour, not furniture.

Why it is important to choose furniture manufacturers with values 2

Latorre’s values and commitments

At Latorre, we are a company with more than 50 years of experience that is up to date with the latest innovations. On a daily basis, we work efficiently and always strive to give our clients the best option for their luxury furniture.

Some of our values and commitments as a family business and with which, indirectly, our customers collaborate if they purchase our furniture, are:

In house manufacturing

As a luxury furniture and sofa manufacturing company, we take on the complete manufacturing process of all our pieces: from the design, through their manufacture, to their final assembly.

At Latorre, we are proud of our origins, which date back to 1959, and of our family heritage. All of this has made us true expert manufacturers and decorators of the highest standing. For this reason, we hold on to what defines us in order to consolidate our position as a benchmark in the manufacture of luxury furniture.

Local materials

In addition to their elegance, great value and quality, luxury furniture stands out from the rest because of its treatment and closeness to the materials of which these pieces are made. Each one of them has a completely different design, creation, production and manufacturing process.

At Latorre, we work with traceable wood and, if possible, of national origin, as this means less environmental impact. In turn, in our industrial plant, located in Valencia, we have installed more than 100 solar panels, in order to produce about 65% of the energy we use every day in our work processes.

Another of our strength is the selection of the best local materials, minimising their impact on the environment as much as possible. Thanks to this, we can ensure that we meet this requirement with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).

Why it is important to choose furniture manufacturers with values 1

Unique pieces and personalisation

Each of our pieces contains a series of details that make it special and invaluable. That is why we strive to assume our responsibilities, save natural resources and carry out our work in a 100% sustainable way. As a family business with a long history, we also take care of our customers’ problems and analyse their real needs in order to provide effective solutions. We have a global approach, we do not neglect any detail. We know that impeccable service is the pillar on which to build the relationship with our customers.

Commitment to social causes

At Latorre, we are also very committed to various social causes. Among some of them we can highlight our collaboration with the Le Cadó Foundation, a project that collects funds to collaborate in the financing of research against breast cancer. We donate leftover fabrics that are not used to make and design a collection of bags, backpacks and Tote Bags. The proceeds from the sale of these products go to the Spanish Association Against Breast Cancer (AECC), with the aim of raising funds for research and thus help many women in our country who fight against this disease on a daily basis.

At Latorre, we are experts in designing and creating furniture with the sole aim of making you feel and making it part of our daily lives. We are committed to sophistication and personality.

A multi-purpose, functional and highly versatile piece of furniture. These are the three adjectives that perfectly define the sofa bed. A model that is both a sofa, to accommodate our guests in our home; and at the same time a symbol of rest, which allows us to accommodate our guests in total comfort.

The sofa bed dates back to the 19th century, when there was an urgent need for more space in middle-class homes. Although in 1899, Leonard C.Bailey patented a folding bed, it was not until the 20th century that what we know today as the sofa bed actually appeared.

At Latorre we believe that this discovery cannot be forgotten. That is why, in this post, we tell you the reasons why you should buy a sofa bed and have one in your home. Find out here!

CTA EBOOK Latorre (ENG)


Sofa beds: what are they and their characteristics?

The sofa bed is a sofa that can be converted into a bed. Generally, it has a metal structure that supports the mattress, which fold up under the seat cushions of the sofa. This give us the possibility to use the sofa during the day and as a classic bed at night.

At first glance we do not usually distinguish a sofa bed from a normal sofa. However, sofa beds are usually smaller in size than ordinary beds. They are 150 centimetres x 200 centimetres in size, for example. A sofa bed, on the other hand, is usually smaller.

Whether for a room such as the living room of our home or simply for a space such as a guest room or our office, when selecting a sofa bed we must take into account the space we have available. Why? It is important because the type of opening it has can influence the measurements of the sofa. In this post by Pau, an ecological furniture manufacturer, you can find out about the types of sofa bed and which one to choose.


6 benefits of sofa beds

Dual-use luxury furniture is necessary for many reasons. From its ability to save space, to the ease with which it allows us to decorate our home.

Here are the advantages of this type of luxury furniture:

Space-saving

Let’s imagine for a moment that we live in a small space, such as a studio, for example. Having a sofa bed in this type of space is the best option. We can simply turn it into a bed, while still being elegant and modern with our sofa.

At the same time, it is perfect for large families, as it allows them to include a sofa bed in a living room and, in this way, not have to sacrifice a space that they want to use for another purpose.


Perfect for our guests

Sofa beds play a good role if we have guests staying at our home for a few days. By simply unfolding it, we can encourage our friends to spend a great night in our home.

Nothing to envy to a bed

Do we remember those sofa beds that were awkward, uncomfortable pieces of furniture on which we broke our backs? Nowadays, sofa bed models have improved dramatically, thanks to a new approach to comfort.

Latorre sofa beds have a robust mechanism, which allows them to be opened easily, without the need to remove the cushions beforehand.
Reasons to buy a sofa bed 1

Comfortable at home

Who has not slept on a sofa at some point? They do not usually have the same measurements or the comfort of our bed. Moreover, some experts point out that “sleeping on the sofa can cause certain health problems”.

For this reason, a sofa bed is the best choice, as it offers comfort when it comes to resting peacefully. What is more, they look just like regular sofas, but are more functional and beneficial to our health.

Durable structure

If you are looking for a long-lasting furniture investment, sofa beds are the best option. They are highly resistant and quality pieces, which means that we can enjoy their comfort and wellbeing for years to come.

Endless styles

The fact of acquiring a sofa bed does not mean that we have to give up our style. Latorre’s luxury sofa beds come in an infinite number of styles, just like a normal luxury sofa. What differentiates them from each other is the storage space and the interior bed they have.


Latorre’s luxury sofa beds

There are a vast majority of models, finishes and sizes to buy sofa beds, all according to our style, space and budget needs.

That is why Latorre tells you what makes the sofa beds we design unique and unequaled.
  1. Royalton Bride sofa bed. Designed by Guillermo Torrent, the Royalton Bride sofa bed measures 232 cm long x 222 cm wide when extended. With a structure made from beech and pine wood, it has double opening insert mechanisms and an ultra-resistant epoxy painted tubular frame.

A sofa is the cornerstone of a living room. Thanks to this piece of furniture, we create a space where we can meet with family and friends. But it is not only important to ensure that the furniture is elegant and fits in with the style of our home. We must also ensure that the sofa is comfortable to sit on, as well as resistant and durable.

That is why, before choosing the sofa that best suits our tastes and styles, we should pay attention to the type of foam used to manufacture luxury sofas. If we choose a low-density foam model, the sofa may deform or, on the contrary, if we select a more rigid type of foam, the seating will be more compact.

Do we really know how many types of foam for sofas we can find on the market and which one is the best for luxury sofas? At Latorre, as a company specialising in the manufacturer of luxury furniture, we are aware of the interest that this subject arouses in our customers, which is why we tell you about in this post.

How to choose a type of foam filling for a sofa

The foam upholstery of luxury sofas is characterised by being a type of upholstery that is both resistant and durable, as it quickly recovers the initial shape of the sofa.

It is not only the aesthetic design that is important when selecting our luxury sofa. It is also vitally important to test whether the piece we are going to choose is comfortable and adapts to us. Some of the luxury sofa upholstery that stands out above the rest are foam upholstery.

Therefore, when sitting down, it is important to make sure that your hips are not lower than your knees. Another aspect to pay attention to is that our back is correctly supported by the backrest of our sofa, thus ensuring that our lumbar area is protected. And finally, we must bear in mind that, when we are seated, our feet are touching the floor.

All these factors undoubtedly mean that we have to choose a type of foam that is of high quality and has a certain durability over time. Normally, when it comes to comfort, the backrest area is usually softer than the seat. However, it is not until three or four months, when the foams used in sofas usually have their definitive seating.


4 types of foam for sofas

The foam padding you select for a luxury sofa will make a difference to how comfortable the product will be in the future, significantly influencing the strength of the furniture.

Foam is a material that has different types of densities, as well as it can have a lower or higher hardness; the latter can vary depending on the number of particles that the foam filling of a sofa has per cubic.

The following are some of the types of foam depending on their density:

20 kg/m3 low density foam

This first type of foam, white in colour, has a hard soft firmness. This density is mainly used for the backrests of sofas and wedges, as they do not support a weight like a seat and have a medium durability.

25 kg/m3 medium density foam

Blue foam is characterised by a medium density and therefore has a lower resilience capacity. What does this mean? It is a foam with low flexibility, cushioning and resilience. This 25 kg/m3 foam is used in sofas that are not used much or in beds sofa, for example.

30 kg/m3 high density foam

The most common for day-to-day, more general furniture. With a green colour, thanks to its robustness and firmness, this type of foam can be harder or softer, depending on the needs of each client.

40 kg/m3 extra-hard density foam

Finally, the foam with a brown or white colour has an extra-hard type of filling. It has a greater durability, which makes it perfect for furniture with intensive and continuous use. Its main type of sofas are high quality sofas. The fact that its density is higher does not make it a hard type of foam, but it adapts to the type of firmness; whether it is soft or harder, always guaranteeing the best rest.



Latorre, quality foam for luxury sofas

At Latorre, manufacturers of luxury furniture, our main objective is that our customers are satisfied. For this reason, we have four types of foam padding that adapt to the needs of each of our customers.

Here are two of our newest sofas that can be fitted with different types of foam padding:

Undoubtedly, it is not only a piece of furniture for a residential space, but its shape, colours and finishes make it perfect to fit in a contract space.

Royalton circular sofa

This model, also from the new collection, has been designed by Guillermo Torrent. Although the Royalton collection is made up of various types of sofas, modules, Chaise Longues or benches; at Latorre we wanted to offer a more avant-garde version, with the circular Royalton.
