Vila Sofa – A Furniture Store Like No Other

When is the last time you have been to a furniture store that combines innovative furniture ideas with affordable pricing and everything can ship to your home within 48 hours?  I visited the Amsterdam furniture store and knew I needed to share this clever concept for a store with you. If you love Ikea, then Vila Sofa is for you.

What I loved about it most was the modern and cleaned lined interiors with bold colors and still being housed in a warehouse atmosphere was a challenge for the design firm, Tjep. As I walked through the rooms it resembles an adult-sized toy store with bold transportation logos and symbols. What a fun place to purchase furniture and see how store interiors can be engaging similar to your home.


 
“The conceptual solution was surprisingly simple and logic: a combination of warehouse esthetics and home esthetics. This resulted for example into materials such as plywood usually used for crates combined with high-end glossy finishes. The symbols used in transportation and packaging have been metamorphosed into decorative elements that form room dividers that are arranged to organize the space and routing. “… Cool Hunting


 
I hope you will be able to visit this innovative store and experience the creative furniture store concept. I especially love how the Vila Sofa staff helps you on handy motorized carts where they can serve each customer individually! I had a great time there; let me know if you plan to visit too.
