description of a sofa
Bonjour à tous
Il s'agit d'une description d'hôtel
Pre-dinner drinks and nightcaps are served in our drawing room - a lovely space with curving, barrel-shaped walls and deep knolled sofas to sink into after a hard day's shopping or sightseeing in Edinburgh.
Merci de votre aide

canapé Knoll
I think there is an error in the original, or misunderstanding on the part of the person who described the sofa. A Knoll sofa is a type of sofa designed by Florence Knoll, it is padded with buttons.

| Merci bien. C'est un hôtel de style géorgien donc pas vraiment adapté à ce genre art déco... |

Séverine Dupied
: J'ai juste un petit doute quant à la description du canapé - Les canapés Knoll sont absolument magnifiques, mais pas vraiment confortables pour se relaxer...

Knolling is the process of arranging like objects in parallel or 90 degree angles as a method of organization (source: wiki)
l'agencement en équerre n'est pas la formule la plus élégante, mais si cette suggestion de définition vous convient, vous pouvez l'améliorer...
