Last week, we posted beautiful pictures of Piero Lissoni's Alphabet Modular Sofa — a new sofa system from Fritz Hansen. Reader gabriel_s gave us the heads up for the similar — but more casual in appearance — Peanut Sofa from New York-based company Hudson Furniture. The Peanut uses a few shapes and lets the user customize a seating environment...


The Peanut Sofa is available from Hudson Furniture Inc..

I agree; I really like how casual this appears. This would look especially great in an open loft space or maybe a basement family room.
I like the idea and the built-in flexibility.
How do you keep the elements together? I picture people sitting on it and the various pieces sliding apart from each other.
Looks sloppy to me
i had a couch like this in college....every time i sat in it, within 30 minutes, i would always slowly slide onto the floor. looks kinda frumpy!

I think we are going to see more and more of this in the coming years, unstructured or soft structured minimalism.
This sofa would work nicely in those "eclectically mismatched" hodge-podge rooms that are all the rage right now and could also transition into a more disciplined minimalist space.
Best of all, it's very casual without the need to reference some other design or style in an ironic or "witty" way.
The Week / ND model from Indera design looks modular too.

terrible knock off of a Living Divani Extra Soft Sofa by Piero Lissoni - pretty pathetic actually. Check out the Yelp reveiws of Hudson Furniture - they are only the tip of the iceberg, trust me.
FYI- The Peanut Sofa is a represented company at Hudson by an Italian company called Bonaldo. It is not a Hudson Furniture design. Do your homework... enough already.... I mean really- enough.
