Sofastry: A Short History of the Sofa
The earliest known sofa, according to a brief history on the SofaSofa website, has been traced to Egypt, circa 2000 B.C. Majestic benches were fashioned for pharaohs. "As communities moved away from a nomadic existence where they often pack up and move at short notice," the site observes, "the sofa comes to represent a settled life of permanence, safety and comfort."
As buildings — and building materials — grew sturdier and more permanent, chairs and sofas became fixtures, the SofaSofa history notes. European designers and fabric began creating decorative interiors. Manufacturers started stuffing seats with dried moss, horse hair, feathers and other materials to make cushions cushier.
"American sofas begin to appear early in the 18th century," explains Oscar P. Fitzgerald, author of Three Centuries of American Furniture. "By the Victorian Period — around 1850 — they were part of seven-piece parlor sets which included also a man's chair, a lady's chair and four side chairs."
In the 20th century, Fitzgerald says, "the formal parlor began to disappear and entertaining became more informal. With the Depression, it became difficult to market parlor sets so furniture began to be marketed individually."
In the 1930s, the sectional sofa was developed by Donald Deskey and Gilbert Rohde, Fitzgerald says. In the '60s, sofas were made from chunks of foam covered with upholstery, which allowed for endless biomorphic and geometric shapes.
Eventually, sofas became more affordable. Today they can be bought in all kinds of stores. Certain companies let you build your own, mixing and matching size, style and upholstery. However, some assembly — and deciphering of instructions — may be required.

沙发发展简史
根据sofasofa网站登载的沙发发展简史来看，最早的沙发可以追溯到大约公元前2000年的埃及。雄伟的长椅专为法老打制。“当社会团体逐渐抛弃居无定所的游牧形式时”，网站注意到，“沙发逐渐成为一种固定住所的生存方式的代表，更代表着安全和慰藉。

当建筑物-以及建材-变得更加结实、持久时，凳子和沙发成了家庭的固定配置，正如Sofasofa历史所提及的那样。欧洲设计者和编织者开始注意对沙发内部的装饰。制造商们开始用干苔藓，马的毛发，皮革以及其他的一些材料来填充沙发坐垫，以使坐上去更轻便。

”在美国，沙发在18世纪早期开始出现，”《美国家具业走过的三个世纪》（attention：书名不一定翻译正确了哈）的作者Oscar P. Fitzgerald解释道，在维多利亚时期-1850年左右-他们是客厅七件套的组成部份，七件套还包括一把男士用椅子、女士用椅以及四把侧椅。

在20世纪时，Fitzgerald曾说，“正式的客厅开始消失，娱乐气氛也变得越来越轻松。伴随着这次大萧条，出售客厅套装变得越来越难所以商家开始单独地向市场出售家具。

在19世纪20年代，Donald Deskey和 Gilbert Rohde开发出了可拆卸沙发，Fitzgerald说道。 在60年代，沙发是用厚厚的数块经过装饰材料修饰过的泡沫制作而成的，这样的设计可以为难以计数的生物图案和几何图案提供空间。

最终，沙发的价格变得愈发亲民。 如今我们能够在许多店里买到沙发。一些公司还能让你自己构造自己的沙发，包括自己确定尺寸大小、搭配款式以及装饰材料。然而，这需要你具有一些物件装配以及译读说明书的能力。
