Named 'Switch Sofa', the cushioned couch changes its appearance when its cushions are reversed. While one side of each cushion is adorned with a checkered stitch pattern, its opposing face boasts a chevron-inspired motif. This modern and modular sofa is available in charcoal and medium grey tones along with a mustard yellow design that is not for the faint of heart. Each of Gus* Modern's [chic seating units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elogio) are constructed using solid wood, cushions and quality fabric materials that are blended to build the home accessories.
