The MESSINA embodies the meeting of contemporary elegance and everyday practicality. Designed for interiors that refuse to compromise between aesthetics and functionality, the MESSINA is one of the flagship collections at Kings Canapé: 18 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 complete range, its features, its strengths, and helps you choose the MESSINA that truly fits your living room.
Messina Kings Canapé: a complete and modular collection
The Messina collection was designed to meet a simple yet demanding need: offering a contemporary, comfortable and durable sofa, available in multiple configurations. Each MESSINA model follows this same logic: the same design guidelines (clean elegance, generous seating, choice of coverings), but adapted to different uses and spaces.
With 18 references, the MESSINA range stretches from 202 to 390 cm in width depending on the version, which allows it to cover a very wide spectrum of rooms. The common thread: a contemporary aesthetic, carefully selected materials, and manufacturing that prioritises long-term durability.
Available configurations in the Messina range
The MESSINA collection comes in several configurations to suit every room and every use. Here is what you will find at Kings Canapé.
- 11 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.
- 7 corner sofas: with left or right chaise longue (or reversible depending on the model), they define a comfortable TV corner and offer a prime spot to stretch out.
- 0 straight sofa: for long, narrow rooms or duo compositions with an armchair.
- 6 recliner versions: with integrated electric recliner, reclining backrest and footrest for absolute relaxation.
- Convertible: the majority of MESSINA models are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism chosen.
The technical strengths of the Messina collection
Beyond the diversity of configurations, the MESSINA stands out through a series of technical features that make it a safe choice in the Kings Canapé catalogue.
Structure and seating
All MESSINA 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 crossed elastic straps for support. The result: a sofa that maintains its comfort beyond 7 years of daily use.
Upholstery and customisation
The MESSINA collection is offered in a wide choice of coverings: microfibre fabric, velvet, bouclé, leather, faux leather. This variety allows you to adapt the Messina to all decorative styles, from clean Scandinavian to warm boho through understated contemporary.
Mechanisms and comfort
Depending on the version you choose, the MESSINA includes: a convertible bed with metal slat or grid frame, electric recliner with 1 or 2 motors, storage chest in the chaise, adjustable armrests or adjustable headrest. Each option answers a specific need, and Kings Canapé supports you in identifying the most relevant combination.
Which Messina for your room?
Choosing a MESSINA model depends above all on your room and your lifestyle. Here are the main questions to ask yourself.
What room size?
For a living room under 18 m², opt for the compact models (L202 cm) that fit into tight spaces without overwhelming the room. For a standard living room of 20 to 30 m², most MESSINA models (around L250 cm) will find their place. For a large living room over 35 m², the panoramic versions (up to L390 cm) will structure the space with authority.
What is the main use?
Daily TV and relaxation use: all MESSINA versions are suitable, choose according to size. Family use with frequent occasional sleeping: convertible versions with an HR 14 cm or 18 cm mattress are ideal. Hosting use: panoramics in U-shape seat 6 to 8 people and structure a conversation area. Home cinema use: versions with deep seating and dark colours are preferable.
What decorative style?
The MESSINA fits into every 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 bold modern style, leather or matte black faux leather brings the desired character.
What is the difference between Messina models I, II, III, IV...?
You will notice that MESSINA 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.
Messina I: entry-level format, generally the most compact (often a 3-seater convertible corner sofa). This is the reference model for discovering the collection.
Messina II: slightly larger version (often 4-seater), sometimes with an additional option (storage chest, adjustable armrest).
Messina III, IV, V: intermediate formats, gradually increasing in size and features.
Messina VI to XII: high-end versions, panoramics, or with advanced options (recliner, sliding seat, integrated USB ports).
Messina Relax: specific version with electric recliner mechanism, 1 or 2 motors.
Caring for your Messina sofa
A well-maintained MESSINA 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 then against it for velvet. Treat any stain immediately with a damp cloth, without rubbing, dabbing to absorb. Rotate the seat cushions every 3 months to even out wear. 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 out the mechanism.
Frequently asked questions about the Messina collection
How much does a Messina sofa cost?
Prices for the MESSINA collection vary depending on the size, configuration and covering chosen. Compact models start at around €1,500 for a 3-seater 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 using the sidebar.
What size Messina for my living room?
First, measure the surface of your living room. For under 18 m², choose a compact MESSINA (L202-{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) is suitable. For over 35 m², you can consider the panoramic versions (L390 cm). Also think about circulation: leave at least 90 cm between the sofa and other furniture.
Is the Messina convertible?
Most MESSINA references are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism. The standard sleeping area is 140x190 cm for the 3-4 seater versions, and 160x200 cm for the panoramic versions. For daily sleeping use, opt for an HR 14 cm or 18 cm mechanical mattress.
Which covering should I choose for a Messina?
Microfibre fabric remains the most versatile choice: soft touch, stain-resistant, easy to maintain. Velvet brings a chic and warm touch, but requires more care in maintenance. Bouclé is ideal for a cocooning feel. Leather or faux leather signs a design and durable interior. For families with children or pets, stain-resistant treatment is a real plus.
Is the Messina available with electric recliner?
Yes, the MESSINA Relax version offers an integrated electric recliner mechanism, generally with 1 or 2 motors (reclining backrest, deployable footrest). The price is higher than the standard version, but the comfort is incomparable for relaxation lovers. The dedicated collection for recliner versions offers 6 references in this category.
