# Pinned Pillow Benches The Facile Sofa Comprises a Cushions, Dowels and a Pegboard Block By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facile-sofa References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2013/11/Facile.html) & [formabilio](https://www.formabilio.com/shop/sofas/two-seater/facile) Couches are often considered to be furnishings with fixed forms, and the adjusting of their cushions often leads to an awkward and less than practical arrangement. The Facile Sofa has been designed precisely to encourage the [reorganization of its plushy parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco) so that the user can adapt it to his changing needs. Marco Gregori's [eco-friendly seating system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-cork-seating) also functions as a coffee table. With the six pillows stuffed into the hollow wooden body, the surface is smooth and level and ready to receive beverages and reading materials. But one by one, up to three sitters can be accommodated on the Formabilio Facile Sofa. Insert two timber spikes into the an adjacent pair of holes; slide one of the sets of cushions onto them to form a backrest and a bolster. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Adjustable Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create customizable furniture that allows users to easily adapt it to their changing needs. - **Eco-friendly Seating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable seating solutions that incorporate recycled materials and multifunctional features. - **Modular Cushions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design removable and interchangeable cushions that can be easily reconfigured to create different seating arrangements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate smart technologies into furniture manufacturing processes for creating customizable and eco-friendly products. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new approaches to interior design that embrace modular and adaptable furniture solutions. - **Sustainable Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative materials and production techniques to support the creation of eco-friendly and versatile seating options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cloud-Like Modular Sofa Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillo-sofa.md) - [Stacked Brick-Like Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-brick-modular-sofa.md) - [Enveloping Sofa Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo.md) - [Modular Eco-Sourced Cozy Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-couch.md) - [Modular Minimalist Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zonatta-bumper-sofa.md) - [Customizable Puzzle-Like Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pent-modular-furniture-system.md) - [Space-Saving Modular Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flez-2-modular-sofa-system.md) - [Hybrid Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptable-sofa-system.md) - [Curvaceous Modular Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blocks-modular-sofa.md)
