Seating sample: A look at new sofas, swivel chairs and more

There’s a lot of movement — literally — in seating being introduced at this spring’s High Point Market, with Universal Furniture adding a motion group and other producers extending their seating collections with adjustable-headrest recliners and swivel chairs.

But even stationary options, many with sumptuous leathers and fabrics, are likely to move quickly off showroom floors and into consumers’ homes. We’ve got a sampling of sofas, sectionals, benches and other indoor and outdoor seating you can see at market April 22-26.
