Almond Wind sofas are cozy centerpieces that make a statement

Almond Wind offers soft, warm, and inclusive sofas and furniture, culturally rooted, that feel as good as they look without ballooning the price. I know that’s a lot to offer, but they pull it off.

When you stop and think about it, I mean, really, stop and think, your couch or sofa is basically the centerpiece of your living space. It’s where you relax, spend time with family, entertain friends and visitors, binge your favorite movies and shows, play games, you name it. “A couch is where you laugh, cry, fall asleep, vent, love, live. It should be art. It should be you.” That quote is from Brooke Sharpton, the genius owner behind Almond Wind and our next topic of discussion. She said the same thing I was trying to, except much more elegantly.

Couches and sofas are the centerpieces that tie our living spaces together. They should be comfortable, soft and inviting, but also attractive. Those traits are usually indicative of what you might call a high-brow product. The problem with luxury couches is they can also push the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable with the price range. Almond Wind does the opposite. They design sofas that look good, feel good, but without shouting. They’re warm, inclusive, and culturally rooted. Brooke’s personal story is pretty cool, too. She left finance and Wall Street to focus on creativity, softness and style with Almond Wind’s thoughtful pieces.

Okay, but what about the Almond Wind sofas?

From the delightfully rounded Bayshore series to the sleek, inviting Halo collection and voluptuous Valicia line, each sofa is available in curated colors. You can also order a small swatch for free to see the fabric up close and feel it. Why? Because these aren’t your granny’s couches. Crafted with luxurious velvet and similar materials, they are euphoric and charming — a true artist designed these pieces. But because I sound like someone from a high court, less a court Jester, let me throw some prices at you. I don’t normally, but they’re important here.

The Halo 5-seater is $3,000. Just a 3-seater is $2,000. The Bayshore 4-seater is $4,000. While these could seem high when comparing to the cheapest possible options at a department store, if you venture into an actual furniture store, they’re on par, if not a little less. The important point is that they are luxury-quality, with extremely soft high-grade materials for a reasonable price. Don’t take my word for it. Go check out the free swatches and feel the fabrics and materials up close, for yourself. Materials are 100% animal-free, vegan and allergy-friendly with hypoallergenic microfibers, and they’re also kid-friendly. If your kids get the couch messy, you can wipe it down. Try doing that on a ridiculously overpriced sofa.

Either way, Almond Wind is Miami-based, black-owned, and sustainably founded. They also focus on direct-to-consumer and B2B offerings, a well-rounded combination of traits that isn’t common in the industry.
