The New Style of Living

Lifestyle “on the same wavelength”

A good wave and good timing is a must to get a kick while surfing. Both promise joy, a feeling of freedom and the certainty of not wanting to be anywhere else at that particular moment. Do the terms Drop In, One-Eighty, Slide or Hang-Ten sound familiar? If so, then you are a surfing enthusiast and know what these feelings represent. Or you know sophisticated living as a manufacturer of incomparable seating and bedroom furniture. Because not only are they named after known surfing maneuvers, one will sit and lie as if in harmony with a wave: Namely, being at the right place at the right time.

Ralf Hüllemann is the founder of sophisticated living and his heart throbs for the stormy surf just the same as for comfortable upholstered furniture. With his enterprise, founded in 2005, he has proven that this does not exclude itself mutually, but rather leads to a unique way of life. 15 years of industry-specific experience created the foundation for a vision that Ralf Hüllemann consummated together with interior designer Saskia Thomas and industrial engineer Sebastian Hüllemann. Their concept bases on the idea of finding perfection in simplicity, to pack innovative ideas into timeless designs, casting the concept of freedom into clear and generous shapes and forms.

An individual style that gets by without transient, bold accents. It's the simple, linear contours and balanced proportions that harmonize perfectly with the appealing colors and high quality materials thanks to the trio’s keen intuition. The collections heart lies in the sofas offered as traditional seating as well as functional furniture. They are specially designed and manufactured by sophisticated living, just like the chairs and beds. Our own fabric collection highlights the company's philosophy with high quality materials, stylish designs and the ability to be creative, just like the fabrics offered by renowned manufacturers such as Amy Butler and Kaffe Fassett. The fabrics not only find use as sofa covers, but also for cushions, plaids or as table sets.

Furniture by sophisticated living is a true understatement in elegance. As generous as their design may appear, they shape a room with a light and airy touch. These esthetics bring forward an unforgettable living experience together with first class seating comfort. High-quality upholstery materials, pocket spring solutions, loose or fixed seat and back cushions, as well as different seat depths and heights can be chosen, of course. Moreover, individual customer-made solutions allow you to bring the sophisticated living lifestyle directly into your own home.
