A sofa



My uncle designed and built this sofa
for my parents.
Originally it had a green cover.

This was our family sofa.
I remember my brother jumping up and
down on the sofa seat.
I remember being ill and lying on the sofa
with a blanket over me.
I remember guests filling that sofa.
I remember my father taking his afternoon
nap on this sofa.



Around twenty years ago my brother took
over the sofa and got a professional
upholster to change the green cover into this blue
with red and green pattern.



By some real luck - from my point of
view - my brother and his friend managed to
move this very big and heavy sofa up
the steep and narrow stairs to my
apartment.

For now I can enjoy the family sofa.
Lucky me!
