Designers on Sofas

Sofas, architects, and everything in between.

This first title from Monocle brings together 50 architects—photographed on their own sofas, in their own spaces. Personal, informal, revealing.

Each portrait is paired with a conversation: about work, taste, habits, and the objects they live with. Even the sofa becomes a clue—designed or chosen, intentional or instinctive.

A glimpse into how architects think, and how they live.

Plus, a foldout featuring 100 architect-designed sofas—
from modernist icons to contemporary names.
