# Pull-Apart Perches This Sofa by Can Guvenir Seems to Stretch to Accommodate More Sitters By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofa-by-can-guvenir References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Furniture-Design_02/2775073) The primary difference between an armchair and a couch is the length of the latter, and a feature which this [contemporary sofa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-sofa) by Can Guvenir seems determined to accentuate. The peculiar composition of the piece delivers the impression that it did actually begin with a much shorter frame. Each of the identical [solid sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moooi-peaks-sofa) of the chesterfield would be constructed into rigid geometric forms from polyurethane to shape a seat, an armrest and a backrest. They would then be covered in leather to add a an element of softness and sophistication. Thick wooden supports appear to angle the halves upwards towards the inside, revealing a level lumber chair embedded in the middle. Like a separated loveseat, this sofa by Can Guvenir accommodates a third sitter in the center, or a place to serve as a side table for books and beverages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Furniture:** Opportunity for companies to create furniture that can be easily adjusted and reconfigured based on the number of sitters. - **Multi-functional Design:** Potential for designers to create furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as seating and a side table. - **Geometric Aesthetics:** Rise of furniture designs that incorporate rigid geometric forms for a modern and sleek look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers have the potential to explore new production methods and materials to create innovative and customizable furniture designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage modular furniture and multi-functional design for versatile and stylish solutions in various spaces. - **Luxury Retail:** Luxury retailers can capitalize on the trend of geometric aesthetics by offering high-end furniture pieces with sophisticated designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enveloping Sofa Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo.md) - [Modular Cat-Friendly Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quarter-sofa.md) - [Ribbed-Cushioned Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-design.md) - [Compact Collapsing Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acordion-modular-sofa.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Sofa Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-sofa.md) - [High-Back Embracing Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozmo-hug.md) - [Plush Oversized Sectionals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/albany-park-kova-pit-sofa.md) - [Expanding Three-in-One Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expandy.md) - [Organic Contour Couch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siwa-sofa.md)
