The GENOVA embodies the meeting of contemporary elegance and everyday practicality. Designed for interiors that refuse to compromise between aesthetics and functionality, the GENOVA is one of Kings Canapé's flagship collections: 8 models available in several dimensions and configurations to suit every room, from the compact studio to the large family living room. This page guides you through the full range, its features and strengths, and helps you choose the GENOVA that truly matches your living room.
Genova Kings Canapé: a complete and modular collection
The Genova collection was designed to meet a simple yet demanding requirement: to offer a contemporary, comfortable and durable sofa, available in multiple configurations. Every GENOVA model follows the same logic: the same design guidelines (clean elegance, generous seating, choice of coverings), but adapted to different uses and spaces.
With 8 references, the GENOVA range spans from 208 to 379 cm in width depending on the version, covering a very wide spectrum of rooms. The common thread: a contemporary aesthetic, carefully selected materials, and a build that prioritises long-term durability.
Configurations available in the Genova range
The GENOVA collection comes in several configurations to suit every room and every use. Here is what you will find at Kings Canapé.
- 3 panoramic sofas: in U-shape or extended L-shape, they structure a large living room and seat 5 to 7 people. Ideal for large families or open-plan spaces.
- 5 corner sofas: with left- or right-hand chaise (or reversible depending on the model), they define a comfortable TV area and offer a prime spot to stretch out.
- 0 straight sofas: for long, narrow rooms or paired compositions with an armchair.
- 0 recliner versions: with built-in electric recliner, reclining backrest and footrest for absolute relaxation.
- Convertible: most GENOVA models are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism chosen.
The technical strengths of the Genova collection
Beyond the variety of configurations, the GENOVA stands out for a series of technical features that make it a safe bet in the Kings Canapé catalogue.
Structure and seating
All GENOVA models share the same manufacturing fundamentals: solid wood or high-density panel structure, high-resilience polyurethane foam (HR 35–40 kg/m³) for the seat, and interwoven elastic webbing for support. The result: a sofa that keeps its comfort well beyond 7 years of daily use.
Covering and customisation
The GENOVA collection is available in a wide choice of coverings: microfibre fabric, velvet, bouclé, leather, faux leather. This variety lets you adapt the Genova to any decorative style, from clean Scandinavian to warm bohème, via understated contemporary.
Mechanisms and comfort
Depending on the version you choose, the GENOVA includes: a convertible bed with metal slat frame or grid, electric recliner with 1 or 2 motors, storage compartment in the chaise, adjustable armrests or adjustable headrest. Each option answers a specific need, and Kings Canapé guides you in identifying the most relevant combination.
Which Genova for your room?
Choosing a GENOVA model depends first and foremost on your room and your lifestyle. Here are the main questions to ask yourself.
What room size?
For a living room under 18 m², favour the compact models (W 208 cm) that fit into tight spaces without crowding the room. For a standard living room of 20 to 30 m², most GENOVA models (around W 250 cm) will fit perfectly. For a large living room over 35 m², the panoramic versions (up to W 379 cm) will structure the space with authority.
What is the main use?
Daily TV and relaxation: all GENOVA versions are suitable – choose by size. Family use with frequent guest sleeping: the convertible versions with HR 14 cm or 18 cm mattresses are ideal. Hosting: U-shaped panoramic sofas seat 6 to 8 people and structure a conversation area. Home cinema use: versions with deep seats and dark colours should be preferred.
Which decorative style?
The GENOVA blends into any interior thanks to the variety of its coverings. For a Scandinavian style, choose a light grey or beige microfibre fabric. For a Turkish or oriental style, go for deep velvet. For a fully modern style, leather or matte black faux leather brings the character you are looking for.
What is the difference between the Genova I, II, III, IV... models?
You will notice that the GENOVA 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.
Genova I: entry-level format, generally the most compact (often a 3-seat corner convertible). It is the reference model for discovering the collection.
Genova II: a slightly larger version (often 4 seats), sometimes with an additional option (storage compartment, adjustable armrest).
Genova III, IV, V: intermediate formats, which progressively increase in size and features.
Genova VI to XII: high-end versions, panoramic, or with advanced options (recliner, sliding seat, built-in USB ports).
Genova Relax: a specific version with an electric recliner mechanism with 1 or 2 motors.
Caring for your Genova sofa
A well-maintained GENOVA sofa keeps its comfort and appearance for 10 years and more. Here are the essential steps.
Vacuum every week with a soft brush attachment, following the nap direction then against it for velvet. Treat any stain immediately with a damp cloth – without rubbing, dabbing gently to absorb. Rotate the seat cushions every 3 months to spread wear evenly. For stain-resistant treated fabrics, a wipe with a damp sponge is usually enough.
For electric recliner 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 Genova collection
How much does a Genova sofa cost?
Prices of the GENOVA collection vary depending on the size, configuration and covering chosen. Compact models start at around €1,500 for a 3-seat convertible corner sofa, and panoramic versions can reach €4,500 and more for XXL configurations with recliner and storage options. Each product on this page shows its exact price; you can filter by budget in the sidebar.
What size Genova for my living room?
First, identify the surface area of your living room. For less than 18 m², choose a compact GENOVA (W 208-{int(DIM_MIN*1.3)} cm). For 20 to 30 m², a medium format (W {int(DIM_MIN*1.4)}-{int(DIM_MAX*0.7)} cm) is suitable. For more than 35 m², you can consider the panoramic versions (W 379 cm). Also think about circulation: leave at least 90 cm between the sofa and the other furniture.
Is the Genova convertible?
Most GENOVA references are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism. The standard sleeping area is 140x190 cm for 3-4 seat versions, and 160x200 cm for panoramic versions. For daily sleeping use, favour an HR mechanical mattress of 14 cm or 18 cm.
Which covering should I choose for a Genova?
Microfibre fabric remains the most versatile choice: soft feel, stain-resistant, easy care. Velvet brings a chic and warm touch, but requires more care. Bouclé is ideal for a cocooning feel. Leather or faux leather gives a designer and durable interior. For families with children or pets, the stain-resistant treatment is a real plus.
Is the Genova available with an electric recliner?
Yes, the GENOVA Relax version offers a built-in electric recliner mechanism, generally with 1 or 2 motors (reclining backrest, extendable footrest). The price is higher than the standard version, but the comfort is unmatched for relaxation lovers. The collection dedicated to recliner versions offers 0 references in this category.
Conclusion: why choose a Genova sofa?
