As living spaces become increasingly compact the demand for multifunctional furniture rises and the humble sofabed is undergoing a transformation.
Once considered a purely utilitarian piece of furniture for occasional use, sofabeds are now stepping into the spotlight as a stylish and functional solution for modern homes. Kyoto’s broad range of designs highlight how far sofabeds have come, offering versatility without compromising on aesthetics.
Today’s sofabeds are integral to modern everyday living, they’re no longer confined to guest rooms and have become the centrepiece of living spaces. Take Kyoto’s brand-new Cloud model, for example—a sleek and elegant sofa at first glance, it seamlessly transforms into a comfortable sleeping solution and has the added benefit of hidden storage. This perfect blend of form and function caters to modern households, where flexibility and style are equally important.
Kyoto’s approach to sofabeds reflects this changing narrative. By combining luxurious fabrics and quality manufacturing, Kyoto creates products that combine style and durability, not only meeting customer needs but aligning with the values of today’s consumers.
Celebrating Three Decades in the Business
2025 marks a significant milestone for Kyoto as the company celebrates 30 years in the furniture industry. From its beginnings as a small futon manufacturer in Peterborough, Kyoto has grown into a leading name in the UK’s furniture market with their flagship sofabeds.
This anniversary is not just about looking back but also about embracing the future. Kyoto plans to expand its product range to include accent tables, dining sets, and cabinets, alongside new sofabed designs that seamlessly blend comfort and versatility. The company is also investing in operational upgrades, with plans to enhance warehousing and customer engagement processes.
The celebration kicked off at the January Furniture Show at the NEC in Birmingham, where Kyoto’s exhibition featured a timeline wall showcasing its 30-year journey. The stand also debuted exciting new products, setting the tone for a year of innovation and growth.
With its commitment to multifunctionality, quality and customer-focused design, Kyoto is not just celebrating its history – it’s paving the way for the next 30 years of success.
