Arabian Palace Seating

The Groupe Sofa by Maison Martin Margiela

I've never seen any seating like the Groupe Sofa before. Although Trend Hunter has covered its fair share of modular furniture, this sofa is exceptionally unique.

Designed by Maison Martin Margiela, the Groupe Sofa is comprised of three parts. When put together, they mishmash in a way that, to me, resembles a Sultan's palace. When separated, they create three separate armchairs. As written by Psfk, the armchairs are "covered in a linen fabric and built on an internal plywood structure with CFC-free polyurethane foam."
