Very pretty! Though maybe not quite the best for lounging and sleeping on, eh?

Yes, they are rather impractical but gorgeous imo. Truly I never use our current "comfy" sofa, lol. (It isn't as comfy as my chair hahaha.)
I could just picture those adorning my perfect space, elegant.

I personally I wish I had one of these instead, I cannot lounge because it aggravates my sciatica, I have to sit upright, so a small straight sofa with a small seat would just be great. And they are so beautiful!

I definiteyl can picture these in your place :) Somehow there seems to far less art nouveau furniture around here :( Or else I'd have some in my place. I only ever see icky victorian, modern, and battered deco. I think the arts and crafts Stickley thing was bigger here, right after the victorian/edwardian ornate stuff, and then right in to deco.

I hear you on sitting straight. I don't have any "reason," but was sort of thinking to myself I wouldn't mind to on those. I do tend to enjoy sitting straight.
Since a couch is for guests in our place, I can just picture the annoyment of our comfort loving friends, heheheheheh.

Art nouveau was short lived in the best cases, too, so it is quite rare anywhere. In fact these you linked to I would say they are on the edge, the curves are quite balanced, a bit conservative. But then, if they were actually manufactured in Madrid, it is no wonder.

I actually like that the best, art nouveau with the edge of deco creeping in. Does that make sense? haha, guess I am conservative.

Hehe, yeah, actually I find that lately I am liking more and more the simplicity of art deco too. I don't know if art deco can be considered conservative, it is sober but I find it quite daring, I was more referring to more victorian lines, more rounded and symmetric vines; there aren't many curves to be found in art deco, but yes indeed there are examples were it kind of melts with art nouveau, like Mackintosh, even though they seem so different.
