Glamour Within Reach: Abigail Ahern's New Designs for Sofa.com - Remodelista
London designer and tastemaker Abigail Ahern likes her interiors to be “glamorous... ...laid back, and a little bit moody and edgy.” We’re currently eyeing her recent collaboration with Sofa.com, a UK company that prides itself on affordability. Photography by Graham Atkins Hughes. The Stanley, covered in Hudson Roosevelt Velvet, was inspired by the swivel chairs of the Mad Men era: “I wanted something that shouts pure seduction,” says Ahern. Ahern envisioned the eponymous Abigail design as a versatile piece, equally right for “sipping a martini with friends or watching TV with the family.” It’s upholstered in Baltic Roosevelt Velvet, and prices start at £1,310 ($2,103). Inspired by her time spent in the States, Ahern designed two X benches, including the Maud Footstool, shown here in Dusty Rose Pure Cotton Matte Velvet; from £225 ($361.25). Another X bench, the Celeste Footstool, shown here in Prussian Blue Velvet, works well as a bedside table; prices start at £225 ($361.25).
