> caribbean dreamin' For designer Paolo Passerini, the central
elements of this sofa bring to mind the islands of an archipelago, hence the
name Caraibi (Italian for Carribean). But this couch is more than your own
fantasy island. Just stash your stuff in the built-in storage "boxes" to satisfy
your inner neat freak: The pull-out "hideaway" version has a sliding armrest to
store books, magazines, or a secret minibar, while the large-size armrest doubles
as a partition. Or add your own étagère-short or long built in boolshelves in
maple, cherry or wenge finishes.
The deep-cushioned piece comes in countless custom configurations, colors
and upholstery choises, and it's also offered as a fabric or leather chaise.
