If you find yourself unsatisfied amidst a rigid ceiling and four flat walls, the [Hill Sofa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-jolla-beachside-project) by Esteban can promise to perk up the interior aesthetic of your surroundings. Despite the way that it reduces the concept of a couch down to a single uniform surface, this compelling piece of furniture does in fact challenge the space that it occupies.

The [Furniture Design Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments) of Norway manufactures this undulating day bed as [modular square pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla) measuring 1 meter in length by 1 meter in width. The thickness of each cushion is roughly 20 centimeters, but unexpected formal elements greatly alter the otherwise rigidly geometric objects.

A single swelling bump in every section affords a lighthearted form unique to the Hill Sofa by Esteban. Improving the piece's practicality, such soft bulges actually make ideal pillows or protuberance that support reclining postures.
