Stay Neutral
The graceful soft lines and subtle asymmetry across the back of the Moderne curved soda from Bernhardt is on trend but not a huge design risk. It is 105 inches long, features a neutral mineral blue upholstery, comes with six throw pillows and is priced at $4,179 through Neiman Marcus in Friendship Heights’ Mazza Gallerie (202-966-9700; neimanmarcus.com).
Mod Squad
This contemporary two-piece sectional is designed to promote conversation. The Edito modular corner sofa measures 140.9 inches long, and buyers can mix and match inside and outside colors, with more than a dozen combination choices in Techno 3D fabric or wool. The high style European-made beauty is $11,735 at Roche Bobois in Chevy Chase, D.C. (202-686-5667; roche-bobois.com).
