Plus, you have even more options when you add on additional units. The possibilities are nearly endless. The only snag is that the Modi is still in the concept stage—but it has all of the characteristics of something that could be a hit. [Moredesign via Trendsnow via Homedit via Hometone]

These new models are called Mappamondo (Globe), Bucco Bianco (White Hole), and Galassia (Galaxy). They are made of Via Lattea—italian for the raspberry-flavored Milky Way—a white fabric assembled around carbon-based black threads which they claim is indestructible.

The best thing about the Stardust light furniture is that it allows you to role play Austin Powers at night, while letting you be Howard Hughes during the day just by changing the space cakes with milk bottles. [Meritalia via Gearfuse]

Ah... I can picture sitting on them now. Designed by Sternform Produktgestaltung, they're made of Loden, which is 100% new wool, and come in four colors ranging from light gray to dark sand. Sadly, it's "price on application" time, so I suspect they might damage my wallet before they soothed my aching limbs. [Plingcollection via ApartmentTherapy]

The best bit about this, though, is that if you fit a bunch of them together then it looks like Scalextric for the posh. Made of a single piece of red oak and covered with high-density foam it will no doubt be off-the-scale expensive—but think of the Loopty-Love you could enjoy with the chicks.

This sofa hammock from a Franco-German design team called Bless is such a simple concept that it's a wonder it hasn't been done before. If you did have a sudden hammock-floor interface (tying the wrong knots, house a cardboard box, murderous other half, or simply too fat) then you would be nicely cushioned against injury. Despite all that, I have reservations about this schwingtastic object.

1. It's brown.
2. I'll bet it's a bugger to get in and out of.
3. Price? No idea, and it looks more like a concept to me than anything else.
4. It's brown.

Sofa + Hammock = A Match Made In Heaven [Oh!Gizmo]

The commodious components work just like Lego, and drain your wallet in a similar fashion, to the tune of $466 for the four-piece set. Now you can live a nearly-complete Lego life. – Charlie White

This patented idea is not going to come cheap, though, especially since design heavyweight Matteo Thun is one of its creators. Thun was cofounder of the Memphis Group, whose whimsical style has influenced the hoity-toity style-conscious folks (and the rest of us, too) for the past couple of decades.

What we like about this couch is that if you lose the remote under the cushions, you just unplug the seatbacks and armrests and there it is. – Charlie White

Its segmented form factor gives you lots of choices, rolling it out as far as you dare, or storing it away to clear the floor for those cockfights boy/girl wrestling matches in your post-modern apartment every Saturday night. Too bad it costs $5,947. – Charlie White

Nearly a decade after the event, most of my college-level instincts are still intact. Naturally, I thought it would be really cool to have a couple of bean bag chairs scattered through the new place. Leopard skin patterned. The girlfriend vetoed that idea in about half a second. Then we got into the car and went looking for something I could sit on that retained the enveloping qualities of a giant vinyl sack of Styrofoam peanuts, with the appearance of something respectable. We eventually spent a few weekends sitting in the cheapies at ikea, the outrageously-priced and jokingly-named stuff at Design In Reach, and everything in between. As it turns out, a lot of the fancy stuff just feels like shit to sit on. And a lot of the comfy stuff looks like it belongs in grandma's house, covered in plastic. Then I found the Bee Lounge, in SF's SOMA district, at this store called iExpress.

It is fucking huge, at 96 inches by 48 inches deep, so I fall right into it. There is no sitting on this thing. Its dimensions explicitly invite slouching as far as the human frame can go without actually lying down, and at this point, my legs are still only hanging off it. And covered in Microfiber, it feels like suede, but wipes clean after an uh-oh. It still cost as much as a small plasma, but no regrets here. I will park my ass on this thing 12 hours a day, between work, play, and nap time, for the next 8-10 years. That is what we call value, considering the TV would last only 1/3 that long before I would be whining for a new one. I almost got it in orange, too, but was talked down to a more sober graphite. Probably a good call, as I enter my 30s.

Introduced at the Milan Salone Satellite, it's durable enough for indoor and outdoor sitting, due to its Waterlily and Framefoam construction. Don't ask us what those are, because we don't know either.
