When it comes to trendy interior trends, there is currently nothing greater than the modern sofa pieces that are pieced together piece by piece and can be assembled to any configuration or composition you want. Sometimes you will find that interior designers label these unique products as sectional sofas. However, go to another retailer online and you will see a similar product called a modular sofa. What are the differences between module and section sofas, or is it just two different names for exactly the same product?

In short, they are exactly the same. The important aspect is that both names are based on the unique selling point of the design, its characteristic feature being called & # 39; Modules & # 39; or & # 39; Sections & # 39; which are assembled to assemble the final piece of furniture. The basic principle is that with the help of sections the user can adjust his furniture layout more often to his mood, internal design trends or to certain events and occasions. In fact, it is fair to say that modular sofas can be either classic loveseats or modern corner elements at the touch of a button. It only depends on the style that the user finds the best for his job that day.

With any other module designed as if it were a separate mini sofa with an independent frame, upholstery, and upper upholstery, making a modular / sectional sofa is very complex. This is especially true for the construction of special segments such as chaise longue modules which are atypical in form and shape and therefore must be carefully planned from a design and mass production point of view. The end result is that this can often lead to a significant increase in the associated production costs, which results in the production of conventionally designed sofas with much higher unit costs, which are then passed on to the end consumer above the recommended retail price.

Perhaps the only difference between the terms sectional sofa and modular sofa is in the emphasis. The term cut probably refers purely descriptively to a functional aspect of a sofa, while modular conveys something more incredible about the product in terms of lifestyle and ergonomics. Because of this, you will generally find that high-end manufacturers call their product a modular sofa, whereas Value retailers use the term "cut" to describe the same product. There is also a noticeable increase in interior designers who refer to the term modular living to convey the sense that many discerning consumers demand more flexibility and versatility from their homes.

Finally, you may come across a linguistic separation between suppliers from Europe who primarily opt for the modular description, while suppliers from North America use the term cut much more frequently. This is partly due to the fact that most of the world's leading luxury manufacturers are located in the European Union, reflecting the legacy of the traditional sofa that was originally developed in the Renaissance of European history. However, that does not mean that you will not find a great modular sofa from an American manufacturer, quite the opposite, it's simply called by a different name!
