Diamond Sofa
The Diamond sofa thought by Samanta Snidaro and Andrea Fino of Sand & Birch design studio is entirely realised in mirror-like aluminium. On the wide stripe 160 crystals of Swarovsky will be disposed creating images. The lamp on its side is a fluorescent or a led one.
The Diamond sofa was thought not only for sitting, but also as an object of very provocative design. It has been studied for entering houses and, at the same time, for inspiring pure luxury.
Sand & Birch is bringing forward a project in which the objects lose their proper primitive functions and acquire other meanings. In this way, the Diamond sofa becomes an expression of predominantly aesthetical value: from just a sofa it becomes a jewel.
The Diamond sofa is produced in numbered limited edition (100 sofas)
Dim: L 150, H 90 (190), P 100 cm
The Brussels Atomium has a Marshmallow Sofa by George Nelson in a special edition by Vitra. The photo that featured it here was on the Atomium site but has disappeared since posting. Therefor I have replaced it with my own photo of an all white one.
Update and I found the original photo back. So now we have two photos here.

The Playfull Wallfa Sofa by Jordi Canudas
Wallfa is an intriguing two sided piece of furniture that is both wall and sofa. It offers a comfortable sitting area that becomes playful when users interact from both sides of the wall. Movement, sound and touch hint at what might be happening on the other side.
