The Anyway Sofa System designed by Chris Martin for Swedish furniture brand Massproductions demonstrates how ergonomics meets modular furniture systems. The modular sofa system features 30 to 90 degree bends that allows for easy fitting designed to be placed in awkward interior spaces.

Chris Martin's collection is designed to have the ability to fit into any room, "I saw a need for a sofa that closely related to the space it found itself in. The Anyway Sofa complements interior spaces, almost to the point where it becomes part of the architecture," says Martin.

The collection is completely modifiable with options to order seating with a high or low back and the addition of armrests. The legs of the furniture can also be interchanged from wood to metal and vice versa.
