Choosing the right sofa for one's place is a difficult task, however, the modular seating system is designed to alleviate any anxieties consumers might have around the matter. This has proven to be a popular approach of late when it comes to this category of furniture. The newest addition here is a contribution by Italian architect Piero Lissoni who was commissioned by [B&B Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camaleonda-sofa) to come up with a function-forward and aesthetically pleasing modular seating system.

Dubbed the 'Dock Seating System,' the sofa can be "[reconfigured with 84 different components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco)." This allows for ample flexibility when it comes to personal preferences or space restrictions. Individuals can attach various add-ons to the furniture like side tables, for example.

The entire modular seating system is placed atop a solid wooden platform that gives off a contemporary feel as well.
