Sammy Gharieni shows off his transformative sofa

Massage table supplier and manufacturer Gharieni has introduced the MLW Transform, a sofa that easily converts to a massage table, offering new possibilities for the spa and hospitality industries.


“We have literally transformed the spa massage world – this makes massage accessible to anyone,” says owner Sammy Gharieni. “It opens a completely new channel for us – really, it’s competition to the portable massage bed.”
Gharieni explains that the couch can be used in situations that would normally require a therapist to cart a portable bed with them – at the office, in a hotel suite, or even in fitness areas. “This is a product that you can sell through many different markets,” he says.


The MLW Transform is electrically adjustable in height, has an integrated heating system, and has a built-in battery – so it’s fully operational without a power connection.
The headrest can be adjusted in inclination and height, and a variety of upholstery covers are available, with the possibility to incorporate custom-materials.
