Softwood Sofa is part of Front Studio's Moment collection that uses photographic printing techniques to give illusions of depth, wrinkles, glossy finishes and rumpled carpets. You can see the full Moment collection at Front Studio.
The Softwood Sofa was scooped up by Italian manufacturer Moroso — so look for it in the near future!

this is so interesting. What a clever design.

A litttle to stiff looking and outdoorsy for my taste.

Pulling this off in a photo is an entirely different challenge than pulling this off in reality. What happens to the illusion when someone sits on it, or there are butt indentations in the cushion, or the fabric begins to stretch?
I see this as a clever way for a designer to grab some short-lived attention but I don't see this flying as a product. As shown, its just a gimmick. (And what is it with everything looking like pre-school furniture all of a sudden....?)

I like! This could work, with a careful hand. I hope those cushions aren't too soft?
I see this working well in a space that merges inside and outside (such a room with french windows that open into a yard, wraparound porch, verandah, terrace, or has little raised platforms deriving from Mughal window seats or Rajasthani jharokhas, or indoor multi-level floors) and has lots of light.

I liked it BEFORE I found out it was faux. But now I'm not so sure... seems kind of gimmicky

The photo printing of the fabric is great--grain match to frame is flawless. It's such a well-executed idea and takes faux (which I personally happen to love) to a new modern height! Both thumbs up here---

I like this so much. And I usually hate trickery.
