Awesome Sofas

We have a thing for multi-purpose furniture. HomeMadeModern shows off a design for a contemporary piece of furniture that functions as a small couch and a desk. It has a smaller footprint than two standalone pieces, and it just looks cool. It also has built-in side tables. Best of all, it can be built with basic power tools.

Designed by Fabio Novembre for Cappellini, the Adaptation Sofa is designed to play with our perceptions. Thanks to its wedge-shaped seat cushions, the sofa has the appearance of leaning despite having a perfectly horizontal surface to sit on.

A concept for multipurpose furniture by Julia Kononenko. It can be converted from a sofa into a dinner table for six people. The cushions turn into stools while the double-layered backrest turns into a tabletop.

A tribute to life on the road, this sleeping bag also doubles as a couch. The Camp Daybed was designed by Stephanie Hornig as part of her graduation project, the Camp Furniture Collection.

If you’ve had your eye on the unusual Eastpak sofa, you’re in luck because it’s now stocked in various retailers. The pocket-filled furniture is based on Quinze & Milan’s Club 01 sofa.

An auto shop in the Czech Republic makes sofas, tables and other furniture using actual parts from vintage cars. If you want, you can even send them a car for them to convert into furniture.

Tobias Fränzel’s Champ is a sofa with a backrest that turns into a punching bag. It’s too wobbly for serious training, but if it’s just for kicks (or weak punches) it’ll do. Contact Tobias for pricing.

Inspired by vintage luggage trunks, the Cuscino easy chair and B.O.P. (bench, ottoman, pouf) is made of pillow-like bolsters bound together with natural leather straps or weatherproof nylon ropes.
