Etymology

The word 'sofa' originates from the Arabic word 'แนฃuffah', which referred to a bench covered with cushions and blankets. The concept of a sofa as we know it today evolved during the 17th century in Europe, transitioning from the rigid wooden seating to more comfortable and upholstered designs. Sofas have since become a staple in living rooms and lounges, providing a cozy seating option for relaxation and socializing.
