Man in the beginning would sit on the floor. Then they moved on to rocks. When man discovered tools, rock benches were chiselled, and later wooden and marble benches were created.
As man progressed, the hard benches were softened using cushions. These cushioned up benches started evolving, from a long platform to various shapes and sizes.
Then the sofas got weird…
1. Meet the Cow Sofa: Created by Rodolfo Rochetti from Rome. He is a master upholsterer from Tappezzeria Rocchetti.
2. The East Meets West Carpet Sofa was the creation of Dutch artist Tonio de Roover. It gives the feeling of Aladdin’s magic carpet. Too bad, a genie lamp is not included.
3. The Montanara Sofa brings nature to your living room. Waterfalls, mountains, untouched scenery created by the cushions, and the framework of the sofa. The creative designer for this masterpiece is Gaetano Pesce.
4. Jaws was created as a humorous trick during Halloween. The open-mouthed shark will frighten anyone who tries to sit on the imaginative sofa.
5. Scrabble anyone!!! The Scrabble Sofas were created by Stephen Reed for the Bloomberg financial services in London as a fun entertainment way to leaving messages rather than the boring bulletin boards.
6. Are you a vintage car lover? Bring your car obsession to your living room. These custom made sofas have a metal body with original vintage pieces and the headlights working.
7. Runaway sofa!!! This plain looking whitish cream sofa designed in the old fashioned style has half its legs climbing up a wall. Created by Lila from Parcours in Paris, it was a piece commissioned for their Once upon a time theme. It looks a bit like a Chesterfield Sofa….but different
8. The Punching Sofa was designed by Tobias Fraenzel. It is a simple creation, a plain white seat with rounded red back, which pulls up to form the punching bag. Kick-box while watching TV or when feeling frustrated or angry at someone.
9. Watch where you are sitting!!! The Cactus Sofa was specially designed to be used for the AXN ad. The tagline with it was, “Relax if you can!!!”.
10. The Sofa with the million legs so to speak, is the creation of Haldane Martin from South Africa. The sofa was created using green materials found in Africa.
