We love this heat sensitive wallpaper but it would never work at our place. However, the Yala Sofa by Elliat Rich would suit us perfectly as our couches are the central place in our home. The fabric on the sofa is printed with thermochromatic ink and appears as above until someone sits on. See what the warmed up fabric looks like below the jump…
The flowers printed on the fabric are from the Ipomoea plant which is also know as the Bush Potato and is a source of native food to those located in the central desert. Similar to the sofa flowering once it warms up, the Ipomoea plant flowers after desert rains.

Am I having a waking nightmare? Why are the Los Angeles posts today testing my creativity? I can't image ever using this garish couch anywhere. That color is just insane, although I like the repetitive arm rests for some reason. Again, I may be asleep. Are purple wolves, wearing bow ties & humming the By Mennen jingle about to eat me?
Maybe in a Doctor's waiting room - So we can see who's still alive...
what if you were really wide and didn't know that the couch changed color? wouldn't it be embarrasing?
I'd put it in my house in a second! One of the only uses of a heat sensitive product I've liked.
This...is....just....really dumb. I dont even believe I'd acknowledge this couch as worthy of my time on a showroom floor and would wonder why *They* even bothered. I'm glad I'm not the only one questioning the posts today.
If this were in a public place, I wouldn't want to sit down on some stranger's "residual heat". I'd wait until it cooled down.
Do I really want to see the size of the imprint my butt leaves when I sit? No. No, I don't.
I wonder what color you'd get if you cut the cheese?
I think that this a bad throwback to 80's hyper-color. It was a bad idea then... and still is.
Above and beyond not caring for loudly patterned sofas, I really don't want to leave a buttprint behind after sitting on one.
Yeah, this gave me a flashback to my tie-dyed Hypercolor pink and purple baggy sweatshirt circa 1991.
