apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Oh of course it's somewhere I can't get to in the car - dang! I love this stuff - very cool and fun. I do wish they'd show prices on the website just to get an idea if I could ever afford it.

People into flea market style have been playing with slipcovering old sofas and the like with this idea for years. Flea market style plays to this as a form of recycling new beauty into old forms. I believe some have had old sofas custom "patched" like this.

Nicole Miller did the opposite with a sofa for her home. She took sections of different old sectional sofas and had them united as a single piece with a single print (her own design as a delightful cacophony) across them all. They matched for seat and back heights, but that was where it ended except for the unifying material.

The delight is in the whimsey of violating the expected form and covering. That's why Louis XVI chairs are so much more fun in cowhide...(or recently a rubber latex?)

fun sofa

Gorgeous. I think I may have drooled on my keyboard.

LOVE IT
