U shape Sofas

Already from the ancient Roman Empire
multi-seat, padded reclining furniture are known, which were used however as
dining sofas. Up to three people were lying on a piece of furniture,
supported themselves with the left hand and attacked with the right to the
food. Because the Romans enjoyed talking while eating, they arranged the
loungers in a horseshoe shape around the table. Even today, sofas in U-shape
are particularly well suited to sit comfortably together after work in a
sociable round. They take up less floor space than individual pieces of
furniture and also allow the extended family to sit together in front of the
TV. U-shaped sofas have the further advantage that the conversation partners
sitting outside can look at each other’s faces while entertaining, without
distorting their necks.
