Quirky Quilted Furniture

Meritalia's La Michetta Sofa is Magnificently Modern and Modular

— October 22, 2011 — Art & Design
La Michetta sofa combines three things stylish individuals are craving today: quilted fabric, colorblocking design and, most importantly, versatility. This modern, modular seating arrangement is just what the decor doctor ordered to liven up living spaces without compromising form for function.

Designed by Meritalia, La Michetta sofa is comprised of different sized blocks of cushions that can be rearranged into a number of different set ups, depending on space, mood or convenience. Available in a multitude of colors, La Michetta sofa is inspired by the most simple and least expensive bread baked in Milan. According to the designers, "No two michettas are ever the same, and even when baked in tins, they always take on different shapes during rising and baking."
