Family-Rocking Sofas

Perhe Chair Can Be Altered from a One Piece to Individual Seats

— June 26, 2012 — Art & Design
Searching for the perfect family sofa that's also kid-friendly can be a challenge, but that won't be the case with Perhe by Naoya Kokado and Orika Morishita.

This sofa design is ideal for people looking to accomodate both guests and the children in the home. Perhe is a rocking sofa that can be dismantled into single rocking chairs. It comes in a variety of colors that add vibrancy to any open space. When combined, the chair set has enough room to seat four people.

There won't be any fighting over who gets to sit on the rocking chair as the entire sofa will rock. The middle seat can also be used as a rocking horse for kids looking to do more than sit and watch television.
Trend Themes
1. Modular Seating - The Perhe sofa's ability to be dismantled into single rocking chairs demonstrates a trend towards modular seating solutions.
2. Multi-functional Furniture - The Perhe sofa's middle seat that can be used as a rocking horse represents the growing trend of multi-functional furniture pieces.
3. Kid-friendly Design - The Perhe sofa's appeal to both adults and children highlights the trend of designing furniture that is both stylish and kid-friendly.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - The Perhe sofa's design presents opportunities for furniture manufacturers to create more modular seating options that cater to different seating needs.
2. Interior Design - The multi-functional aspects of the Perhe sofa open up possibilities for interior designers to create versatile and space-saving living areas.
3. Children's Furniture - The Perhe sofa's kid-friendly design highlights the potential for innovation in the children's furniture industry, where form and function can be combined effectively.
