I think it would just make a statement.
I do not see how it would save much room.

How would this save space? If I was an eccentric millionaire I'd buy it.

Reminds me of this art installation in San Francisco:

Oddly I kind of like it. I think it would be great for a little girls room or perhaps a interesting piece for someone who has a large foyer or entryway.

holy crap, i love this! it's like what would happen if a couch fell down alice's rabbit hole and started eating mushrooms or little cakes that said 'eat me'!

This has 'me' written all over it. Serious, unseriously.

That is too funny. Gives new meaning to nuzzling up.

This makes me giggle in a good way.

And I think it would be an awesome reading chair.

Lots of fun and would be the talk of the town!

To me, the statement it'd make would be "horrible". This actually wastes space with the legs climbing the wall. In small spaces (really small ones, not 1000 sq. ft. "small spaces"), you're lucky if you can manage not to put all your furniture up against the wall.

Cute - looks like it went out for a night on the town, had one too many martinis, and slumped into the corner unable to do its "sofa-y" job the next day.

I find this piece so orginal, fun and actually/oddly useful! I'd own it in a heartbeat!
