Couch Buddy by Thierry D'Istria

08.29.absolument.jpg

Keep company with this printed couch from Absolumnet Design. The couch, designed by Thierry D'Istria, has a logo of a person printed on it, with an arm slung around your shoulder...

Only drawback: you don't really want to sit on the other side of this couch, for fear of squishing your friendly printed buddy.

yikes! It's not clever. It's not attractive. It's not inviting.

The entire sofa isn't printed with that image...it's just a throw. It was featured in the NY Times's Home Section last thursday.

You could put one of these one floor in front of the couch!

It was cool as a couch... it's even more awesome as a throw!

I'd be amused if I saw this on a date's couch. It would probably be out last date, though. Guess I've got a low whimsy threshold.

That novelty would wear off quick-like.

In the US it's available from here for a bit more. At least you don't have to go through the whole ordering process in French (my high school French is a bit rusty :).

I can just imagine the bed sheets.

It's a little too cross-walk graphics for me. Plus, I don't do whimsical.

Great but depressing.

This is funny the first time you see it, but not the second.

NO thank you very much.

I think it's funny...but yeah, it probably would get old. It would be fun in a special room, like a sun room, or a game room (for lucky people who have specialty rooms and need something to fill them up with).

Even nicer if it was accessorised with "Police Line - Do Not Cross" cushions!

Erm... or maybe not, actually.

I prefer those Japanese Boyfriend's Arm pillow things, I could use one of them sometimes.
