Can someone list a list of plugins that are crucial for modeling a detailed sofa,
a list of Sketchup plugins knowing of wich would make 3ds Max sofa modeling abilities, needless
It depends on the style of sofa you want to model. Extensions that come to mind, though:
FredoSpline
FredoScale
Curviloft
Quad Face Tools
SubD
Vertex Tools
Clothworks
Artisan
There will be others. Of course you should also make sure you can fully utilize the native tools before you bother with extensions.

I recommend you subD, it’s great for organic models, but to have a good work experience you need two more plug-ins, quad face tools which is free and vertex tools which is paid, and if you want to give it more realism you can use artisan for sculpting some imperfections. Also clothworks is good for making that kind of geometry, there’s a YouTube channel called tutorials up, it has a video where a couch is modeled and also a gamer chair using subD together with the other plug-ins I already mentioned.

Could you tell a reason why you use SubD as long as Artisan has same features ?
SubD isn’t exactly the same.

As much as i could understand the only thing SubD has that Artisan doesn’t is the undo option of subdivide and smooth feature
Artisan has sculpting features, I find subD better and faster to make the operation, and of course it has the undo option, I suggest you to designate hot keys for the operation, that way you can check how’s the geometry easy and fast.
