SAVVY SOFAS

Patchwork sofas:

Normally patchwork is associated with quilts and old women knitting. Once a craft born out of economic necessity, patchwork quilts still enjoy widespread popularity. However, British sofa and furniture designer Lisa Whatmough and her company ‘Squint Limited’ have adapted the patchwork technique not for bedcovers or throws for your sofa but as upholstery material. Her fun and funky bespoke furniture line has been very popular so far. Just one of her chic furniture pieces will brighten up any dark corner. These are extraordinarily vivid focal pieces indeed, and we can’t wait to see what she and her team come up with next!

Lego-Land sofa:

For those of you who loved Lego when you were young or even better had the fortunate opportunity to actually go to Legoland itself, this sofa is something that might remind you of that period. This amazing piece of functional furniture is designed and created by Thierry Nahon & Philippe Landecker. The company LunaBlocks is based on an original concept, the transformation and enlargement of bricks used in building games for children. Much of their furniture is easily stacked together, functional and totally versatile. LunaBlocks are designed for the world of decoration and for the home, with the purpose of injecting a little fun and humour into the world regardless of age. Like traditional Lego, these blocks come in a variety of colours and configurations all you need to finish a project is some glass, a pillow or cushion, some creativity and loads and loads of disposable income. Unfortunately, each one of these bricks will set you back $20-$55, which could make your dream of turning your pad into a mini Legoland quite costly. Nevertheless, with this range you can create your own piece of furniture changing its shape, size and colour depending on what you would prefer.
