Another beastly Maximo Riera-designed animal sofa

If you’re ready to take your living room on a luxury jungle safari, Maximo Riera has the sofa for you. Sure you could sit your ass down on a Space Invader,  game of Tetris, the alphabet or even another Riera-created animal, a beetle.

The Singaporean designer created this piece of interactive modular seating after seeing kids at play, and how they couldn’t sit down for more […]


Russian born (via Tokyo via Seattle via Los Angeles) designer Igor Chak designed this headturning couch shaped like the classic Space Invader alien.
