Incredibly slick, the Form Follows Function sofa is certainly a practical seating option taken to the next level. With a very sci-fi, futuristic vibe, it is a modern piece of furniture that may not suit every home, but would be a statement piece in many.
Designed by Daan Mulder, the Form Follows Function sofa was created using a computer program. Using a laser-cutting process, steel plates were cut into three curved faces that were then bent and welded into the final product.
