LoveSac has been making modular sectionals similar to this for years already and they cost a lot less and look a lot better IMO. There's a LoveSac store at the mall by me.

I saw this at ICFF in NY last year. One of the best modular sofa's i have ever seen (and I am a furniture designer). How it fits into such a small box I have no idea but I suspect that it utilizes some form of Japanese "big on the inside, small on the outside" compact car technology?

Hah. Hilarious. While I'm still a huge fan of lego and mechano...seeing this furniture used in anything other than a sterile, uptight, art display seems pretty ridiculous. For the same money I can buy all leather, laz-y-boy reclining theater style couches.

the thing is, the truly modular sofa thing has been done, and cheaper, by Lovesac. not as easy to make a fort with those, but better than spending $2300, and probably more flexible as far as seating goes overall.

Also, you guys do realize this makes building living room forts that much easier (and solid), right? Metrosexual nothin'. This is nothing more than an excuse to have sensible living room fort building material.

@ joseph LOLOLOLOL...honestly, outside of a design within reach store, who would even carry this?

Jenga just got a bit more functional. And heavy.

It must be my dyslexia....on first read, I thought the description read "made out of L- and bra-shaped components"....

....that would probably have been more interesting....

This has the word "metrosexual" written all over it.
