"Sofa" is a foreign word, transliterating from the English word sofa. It is a multi seat chair with cushions. The armchair with spring or thick foam plastic is a kind of soft furniture.
The origin of sofa can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC, but the real soft bag sofa appeared from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century.
The origin of sofa can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC, but the real soft bag sofa appeared from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century. At that time, the sofa was mainly filled with natural elastic materials such as horse hair, bird feathers, and plant hair, and was covered with velvet, embroidery and other fabrics to form a soft human contact surface. For example, the Farthingle chair, which was popular in Europe at that time and was used by the public, was one of the earliest sofa chairs. Reviewing the history of sofa development in China, we should first recommend the "jade table" of the Han Dynasty. The "jade table", a seat with thick fabric, described in the Miscellaneous Records of Xijing, can be regarded as the "ancestor" of the Chinese sofa.
