Field Sofa by Jantze Brogard Asshoff

atla031319-Asshoff2.jpgInspired by Swedish folk costumes, the boxy shaped Field Sofa is definitely cute as its buttons. And we're just in love with the contrasting colours of the rich blue sofa and the small, but noticeable, vibrant traditional Swedish folk motifs.

Not so much! It looks too much like those cheap foam 'couches' that fold out to make a 'bed'!

Hmm, I really really like it. I didn't get the cheap, fold-out vibe from it.

I generally love all things Swedish, but this looks like Grandma Olsson had her way with some cheap dorm furniture.

Like this thing! http://www.foamsolutions.ca/images/flipflop.jpg. I guess I must have had an early traumatic experience with one!

Clunky.

I love the color, but I agree; does sort of look like dorm furniture (from the side anyways!). It could be a gorgeous piece in the right space though.

I'm not so sure about the shape. But I LOVE the buttons!

REALLY clunky. Love the color, love the buttons. Despite that, however, this sofa looks neither comfortable or inviting. I am not inspired to sit on it, just to swipe the buttons and run...

Sitting on the buttons of tufted furniture is just plain uncomfortable. I don't mind the back cushions, but seat cushions give you dents in places you don't want them.

From the top picture I thought I was going to love it, but I'm not so into the whole shape. I do love the color and the buttons though.
