In Natalia Swarz's Madrid living room, family life gathers around a soft lilac Connect Soft Modular Sofa. Her daughters climb across it, their friends join in during playdates and, on quieter evenings, Natalia and her husband Armando sink into it once the girls have gone to bed. Around it, Armando's paintings, books collected on travels and the everyday traces of two young children make up a home that feels composed, but never precious. After years of gravitating towards neutrals, Natalia wanted something different this time: more color, more curves and, as she puts it, "something fun." 

Some things, Yağmur believes, find their way to you once you've pictured them clearly enough. The Connect Soft Modular Sofa was one of them: a design she had admired for years before it found its place in her open-plan Berlin apartment. Set as a full corner in a soft grey-beige, it is now a quiet but steady presence in a home with a continuous layout. It has character without taking over the room, leaving space for the things around it. And in a home where she both lives and works, it's also where she goes to take a break.
