Inside a Luxury Furniture Showroom in Vienna: Accent Chairs, Sofas and a Marble Feature Wall
A good furniture showroom lets you judge what photos cannot: the softness of velvet, the balance of a cantilever chair, the way a sofa meets a marble wall. A walkthrough on the Sagist Group YouTube channel, filmed when Sagist Group announced the opening of its Vienna showroom in 2022, shows a range of contemporary living room pieces in one space. Here is what the video shows, which ideas carry into 2026 living rooms and how to get the most from a showroom visit.
Key takeaways
Sagist Group published this Vienna showroom walkthrough on its YouTube channel on 14 October 2022.
Green velvet armchairs on slim metal frames show how colour and a light base keep accent seating airy.
A cream lounge chair on a polished cantilever base appears among dining and lounge groups.
Light and dark sectional sofas are styled in front of a marble feature wall with a sculpted relief.
Gold-toned framed panels and decorative lighting add contrast without crowding the room.
What the video shows
The two-minute video is a handheld walk through the showroom, presenting contemporary living room and lounge furniture under the caption "luxury furniture factory".
Near the entrance, green velvet armchairs with open metal frames sit beside a round side table. Further in, a cream upholstered lounge chair on a polished cantilever base stands in front of dining chairs and seating groups. The main living room display pairs a light boucle-style sectional with a darker sofa, set against a large marble wall with a sculpted figure in relief, framed by gold-toned panels. Throws, cushions, flowers and decorative lighting complete the scene.
Accent chair and sofa ideas for 2026
Accent chairs and sculptural sofas remain a strong way to add personality to a living room in 2026. The trend favours rounded upholstery, statement colours and visible, elegant frames.
Homedit's round-up of accent chair designs for 2026 shows how far the category has moved beyond the standard armchair, and Wallpaper's report on interior trends spotted at Salone del Mobile 2026 offers a wider view of the year's furniture direction. The showroom pieces in the video follow the same principles: one strong colour, soft curves and a light base.
How to style a living room around a feature wall
Treat a feature wall as the anchor and keep the furniture in front of it simpler. The wall sets the drama; the sofa and chairs frame it.
Choose sofa colours that sit within the wall's palette, such as the greys and creams of marble.
Keep the sofa back lower than the most important part of the wall design.
Add one or two accent chairs in a contrasting colour, like green velvet, to balance the scheme.
Repeat a metal finish, such as gold-toned frames, in side tables or lighting.
Light the wall indirectly so stone veining and relief details are visible in the evening.
Getting the most from a showroom visit
Bring measurements, photos and fabric references to a showroom visit. Sit on every seat you are considering, compare seat height and depth, and ask about upholstery options, frame materials and lead times. Photograph labels and dimensions so you can check fit against your floor plan at home. If you are furnishing a whole villa or apartment, ask for a coordinated proposal so sofas, chairs, tables and lighting share one palette and arrive on one schedule.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cantilever chair?
A cantilever chair rests on a continuous base that curves forward, without back legs, which gives a light, floating look and a slight spring when you sit.
Are velvet accent chairs practical?
Yes, when the fabric is chosen for the use. Performance velvets and regular vacuuming help them last in busy homes and lounges.
How do I combine a sectional sofa with a feature wall?
Keep the sofa simple and in tones from the wall, align it with the wall's centre and leave space between them so the wall remains visible.
Can showroom pieces be customised?
Many showroom designs can be adapted in size, fabric and finish; confirm options with the manufacturer for each piece.
