Spring in Vancouver is always a magical time.
From March through May, the city transforms as thousands of cherry trees burst into bloom — from the manicured beauty of VanDusen Botanical Garden and Queen Elizabeth Park to the quiet streets and neighborhoods tucked away across the city.
While early varieties like Somei Yoshino begin fading by April, the vibrant, deeper-hued Kanzan cherry blossoms steal the show in May, covering Vancouver in rich, celebratory pinks. It's a fleeting beauty that reminds us to pause, enjoy the moment, and find inspiration in the everyday.
This spring, at INspiration Furniture, we embraced this spirit by pairing one of our favorite sculptural pieces - the Papilo Island Sofa by Ditre Italia - with the final blooms of the season.
Experience the Freedom of Papilo
More than just a sofa, the Papilo Island Sofa is a freestanding, modular seating system designed for those who crave flexibility, comfort, and creativity.
Each element from the mobile cushions to the adaptable backrests. It moves and adjusts to your body, offering wraparound comfort that feels personal, intuitive, and effortlessly relaxed.
Without a strict "front" or "back," and with endless combination possibilities, Papilo invites you to reimagine how you use your space. Whether placed in an open-plan living room, a cozy reading nook, or a multifunctional studio, Papilo becomes a fluid, living part of your home, just like the changing seasons outside.
Crafted with a minimalist yet inviting aesthetic, and finished with soft-touch upholstery, Papilo combines Italian craftsmanship with playful, sculptural form. It's the perfect match for a season of renewal and creativity.
Find Inspiration This Season
As May draws to a close, the last of the cherry blossoms remind us to savor these small moments of beauty.
It’s also the perfect time to refresh your home with pieces that embody that same spirit — pieces that invite relaxation, expression, and living beautifully every day.
We invite you to visit our Vancouver or Coquitlam showrooms to experience the Papilo Island Sofa in person, along with many other pieces from our curated collections of Italian, European, and contemporary furniture.
Let spring’s inspiration stay with you - not just outside, but throughout your living space.
