HIDE-AND-FIND SOFA
Doesn’t finding lost treasures between the cushions of the couch make you happy? It certainly did for Tokyo-based architect Daisuke Motogi who accepts that things such as remotes and money slip between the cracks and are to be found only during the next cleaning spree. Keeping this in mind, Motogi has created the Lost In Sofa, a chair that gives the space between cushions purpose. To put it simply, while objects get lost within the confines of your cushions, Motogi aims to transform the Bermuda Triangle-like space into a makeshift storage area where you deliberately ‘hide’ items. With its chic Rubik’s cube design and fluffy squares, one can insert books, cell phones or any other quotidian object that you can manage to fit in there.
