I love-y a good miniature (tiny outdoor playhouses, bebes, mini cupcakes... mini donuts... baby elephants... baby giraffes) Anyway--- you get the idea. And tiny books, can't forget those.
This love for tiny definitely extends to furniture. Now, it's kind of a stretch to call a settee a miniature sofa, because it's not so much miniature as it is just small.
Here are some examples I just love:
classy + understated
glamorous + daring
ANDRE ARBUS LE TROYEN SETTEE
elegant+ stylish
fresh + welcoming
MICHAEL WEISS WELLINGTON SETTEE
sophisticated + timeless
Delicious delicious delicious!
And perfect for people who are trying to downsize, want to maximize space in an apartment, or just need the perfect piece of furniture for a corner.
Have you seen the latest House Beautiful? The July/August 2010 issue asks "Is Small the new Big?" and features how to make studio apartments, guest homes, and one-bedroom dwellings feel palatial.
If you at all are trying to put 'living small' into practice, then I highly highly recommend getting your hands on this issue. You can borrow mine if you're close by!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and thank you to all my commenters, you make my day!!!

o I like sophisticated and timeless...although I'm not sure even IT could make the mustard walls loook better!
love them! i had one in my san antonio apartment because it's all i could afford at the time (mini couch = mini price in comparison to full couch!)...although, only i could fit on it..
i heart the green couch. mama wants.
The last three - I am loving them. Would love to relax on that (is it velvet?) seat and I'm into the neutral tones of the last. But that room in the middle is WONDERFUL.
I love yhese ! Thanks for sharing it with us. Does anyone know where I could find a reedition of the couch by André Arbus ?
Thanks a mil'
