Baxter sofas: how to choose the model, leather and size

A Baxter sofa is not an impulse purchase: it shapes your living room for many years, so it is worth preparing the choice well. Which model suits your space, which leather suits your daily life, which size suits your floor plan? This guide presents the best-known Baxter sofas and explains how to order yours from an official dealer in Italy, with delivery worldwide.

Baxter: Italian leather craftsmanship from Brianza

Baxter is an Italian company from Brianza, the area north of Milan famous for its furniture-making tradition. Its identity is built on leather, worked with artisanal techniques into sofas, armchairs, beds and tables with a strong character. Many of its most iconic models are designed by Paola Navone.

The Baxter sofas to know

Chester Moon: the Chesterfield reinvented

Paola Navone's Chester Moon reinterprets the classic Chesterfield with soft, rounded lines. The capitonné covers the entire surface and every button is sewn by hand. It comes as a sofa in five lengths from 195 to 395 cm (depth 107 cm, height 67 cm), as an armchair and with two poufs.

Budapest and Budapest Soft: two souls of one design

The Budapest was Paola Navone's first sofa for Baxter: linear and modular, with a rigid shell holding large, enveloping seat cushions. The Budapest Soft is its softer interpretation: supple leather with raw-edge stitching, a wide, welcoming seat and big soft cushions. Both can be composed freely, from a straight sofa to a large corner arrangement.

Chicago, Milano, Miami Soft and more

The collection includes many other models, among them the Chicago, also designed by Paola Navone, the Milano and the Miami Soft, which many people now simply call "Miami". The differences are often in the details: we are happy to help you find the model that best suits your space and the way you live.

Choosing the leather

After the model, the leather is the choice that most changes the character of a Baxter sofa. Baxter offers several leather collections, each with its own softness, finish and colour range; Kashmir, for example, is particularly soft and often chosen for the Chester Moon. Our advice: always choose the leather on real samples, because colour depth and feel cannot be judged on a screen. We send samples on request.

Choosing the size and configuration

Baxter sofas have generous proportions. Before ordering, check the space available, the room to move around the sofa and the access to your home: stairs, elevator, door widths. For modular models such as the Budapest or Budapest Soft, we can prepare a drawing of your composition so you can check the proportions in your room.

Care

Leather is a natural material that gains character over time. Baxter offers its own care line, the Beauty Routine. As a rule: dust regularly with a soft cloth, avoid long exposure to direct sunlight and use only products suited to your leather.

Not only sofas: the Lagos table

A Baxter sofa often calls for an equally strong piece in the dining area. The Lagos table, signed Baxter P., is one of the brand's most recognisable pieces: an organic top with soft, irregular lines resting on cylindrical metal legs of different sizes. With a top in Patagonia, a natural stone with dramatic light and dark tones, every table is one of a kind.
