The color-infused furniture piece is both comfy and purposeful in its design that features easy chair and sofa variations. Inspired by light and the color spectrum, Majer built pieces mirroring a rainbow shape consisting of seven curvilinear elements upholstered in a different color tone. These individual elements are joined together to create a [modular seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aire-modular-sofa) that can be connected with another in order to serve as an enlarging sofa extension. Constructed from a durable OSB frame, the Iris Sofa structural shell is padded and upholstered to ensure comfort for its user.
