The BARI embodies the meeting of contemporary elegance and everyday practicality. Designed for interiors that refuse to compromise between aesthetics and functionality, the BARI is one of the flagship collections at Kings Canapé: 20 models available in several sizes and configurations to fit every room, from a compact studio to a large family living room. This page walks you through the full range, its features, its strengths, and helps you choose the BARI that truly matches your living room.
Bari Kings Canapé: a complete and modular collection
The Bari collection was designed to meet a simple yet demanding brief: deliver a contemporary, comfortable and durable sofa, available in multiple configurations. Every BARI model follows the same logic — shared design guidelines (clean lines, generous seating, a wide choice of coverings) — while adapting to different uses and spaces.
With 20 references, the BARI range spans 126–345 cm in width depending on the version, covering a very wide spectrum of rooms. The common thread: a contemporary look, carefully selected materials, and craftsmanship built for lasting durability.
Configurations available in the Bari range
The BARI collection comes in several configurations to suit every room and every use. Here's what you'll find at Kings Canapé.
- 6 panoramic sofas: U-shaped or extended L-shaped, they structure a large living room and seat 5 to 7 people. Ideal for large families or open-plan spaces.
- 11 corner sofas: with left- or right-hand chaise (or reversible depending on the model), they define a comfortable TV corner and offer a prime spot to stretch out.
- 0 straight sofas: for long, narrow rooms or paired compositions with an armchair.
- 7 recliner versions: with integrated electric recline, tilt-back and footrest for total relaxation.
- Convertible: most BARI models are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism chosen.
Technical highlights of the Bari collection
Beyond the variety of configurations, the BARI stands out for a series of technical features that make it a reliable choice in the Kings Canapé catalogue.
Frame and seating
All BARI models share the same manufacturing fundamentals: solid wood or high-density panel frame, high-resilience polyether foam (HR 35–40 kg/m³) for the seat, and elastic crossed webbing for support. The result: a sofa that keeps its comfort well beyond 7 years of daily use.
Coverings and customisation
The BARI collection is offered in a wide choice of coverings: microfibre fabric, velvet, bouclé, leather, faux leather. This variety lets the Bari adapt to every decorative style, from clean Scandinavian to warm bohemian through understated contemporary.
Mechanisms and comfort
Depending on the version chosen, the BARI includes: convertible with metal-slat or grid sleeping mechanism, electric recline with 1 or 2 motors, storage chest in the chaise, adjustable armrests or an adjustable headrest. Each option addresses a specific use, and Kings Canapé helps you identify the most relevant combination.
Which Bari for your room?
Choosing a BARI model depends first on your room and your lifestyle. Here are the key questions to ask yourself.
What room size?
For a living room under 18 m², favour the compact models (L126 cm) that fit into tight spaces without crowding the room. For a standard living room of 20 to 30 m², most BARI (around L250 cm) will fit perfectly. For a large living room over 35 m², the panoramic versions (up to L345 cm) will structure the space with authority.
What main use?
Daily TV and relaxation use: all BARI versions work — choose by size. Family use with frequent guest sleeping: the convertible versions with an HR 14 cm or 18 cm mattress are ideal. Entertaining use: the panoramic U-shapes seat 6 to 8 people and define a conversation zone. Home cinema use: versions with deep seating and dark colours are the way to go.
Which decorative style?
The BARI fits into every interior thanks to the variety of its coverings. For a Scandinavian style, choose a light grey or beige fabric and a microfibre fabric. For a Turkish or oriental style, go for deep velvet. For a confident modern style, leather or matte black faux leather brings the desired character.
What's the difference between Bari models I, II, III, IV…?
You'll notice BARI references are numbered in Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV…). This numbering corresponds to distinct configurations and dimensions within the same collection. The usual logic is as follows.
Bari I: entry-level format, generally the most compact (often a 3-seater corner convertible). It's the reference model for discovering the collection.
Bari II: a slightly larger version (often a 4-seater), sometimes with an extra option (storage chest, adjustable armrest).
Bari III, IV, V: intermediate formats, gradually increasing in size and features.
Bari VI to XII: high-end versions — panoramic, or with advanced options (recline, sliding seat, built-in USB ports).
Bari Relax: a specific variant with an electric recline mechanism with 1 or 2 motors.
Caring for your Bari sofa
A well-maintained BARI sofa keeps its comfort and appearance for 10 years and more. Here are the essential steps.
Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment, with and against the grain for velvet. Treat any stain immediately with a damp cloth — don't rub, dab to absorb. Flip the seat cushions every 3 months to spread the wear evenly. For stain-treated fabrics, a quick wipe with a damp sponge is usually enough.
For electric recline versions, check the mechanism and cables once a year. For convertible versions, unfold the sleeping area every 2 months to air the mechanism.
Frequently asked questions about the Bari collection
How much does a Bari sofa cost?
BARI collection prices vary depending on size, configuration and covering chosen. Compact models start at around €1,500 for a 3-seater corner convertible sofa, and panoramic versions can reach €4,500 and more for XXL configurations with recline and storage chest options. Every product on this page shows its exact price; you can filter by budget in the sidebar.
What Bari size for my living room?
First, identify your living room's surface area. For under 18 m², choose a compact BARI (L126-{int(DIM_MIN*1.3)} cm). For 20 to 30 m², a medium format (L{int(DIM_MIN*1.4)}-{int(DIM_MAX*0.7)} cm) works well. For over 35 m², you can consider the panoramic versions (L345 cm). Also think about circulation: leave at least 90 cm between the sofa and other furniture.
Is the Bari convertible?
Most BARI references are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism. The standard sleeping area is 140x190 cm for 3–4-seater versions, and 160x200 cm for panoramic versions. For daily sleeping use, favour an HR 14 cm or 18 cm mechanism mattress.
Which covering should I choose for a Bari?
Microfibre fabric remains the most versatile choice: soft touch, stain-resistant, easy care. Velvet brings a chic, warm touch, but requires more care. Bouclé is ideal for a cocooning feel. Leather or faux leather signals a design-led, hard-wearing interior. For families with children or pets, the stain-resistant treatment is a real plus.
Does the Bari come in electric recline?
Yes, the BARI Relax version offers a built-in electric recline mechanism, generally with 1 or 2 motors (tilt-back seat, deployable footrest). The price is higher than the standard version, but the comfort is unmatched for relaxation lovers. The dedicated collection offers 7 references in this category.
Conclusion: why choose a Bari sofa?
The Bari collection is one of the most complete in the Kings Canapé catalogue. With 20 references across panoramic, corner, straight and recline, it covers every need: from studio to large living room, from first purchase to long-term investment. The BARI bets on modularity, build quality, and a contemporary design that adapts to every style. If you're hesitating between several Kings Canapé models, compare dimensions, available configurations, and options (convertible, recline, storage chest). And don't hesitate to visit the showroom to test the seating — a sofa is, above all, a matter of personal comfort.
