# Zipped-Up Couches The SSCC Sofa Unzips to Form Three Separate Lounge Chairs By Michael Hines | Published 2011-11-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sscc-sofa References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/sscc-sofa-by-cruxflux/) & [cruxflux.net](http://www.cruxflux.net/) The SSCC Sofa is a [modular couch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla) designed to connect and disconnect using giant zippers. The SSCC Sofa was designed by Cruxflux, the same group that created the modular UMYD Coffee Table. The SSCC Sofa is actually three smaller seats connected to one another via zippers. If at anytime you feel the need to split up the seats simply unzip them from one another. The sofa has a simple design with light green fabric sitting atop a foam base. The SSCC Sofa doesn't seem to be too supportive, but as a piece of [casual furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-furniture-piece) (like a beanbag chair) it is just right. Stocking a living room full of furniture on a tight budget is tough. The SSCC Sofa ensures that everyone has a place to sit *and* that you look like well-off with not one, not two, but three [living room lounge chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Furniture:** There is an opportunity for companies to create modular furniture that can be easily combined or separated to fit different needs. - **Zipper Technology:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to incorporate zipper technology into various other products for easy assembly and disassembly. - **Budget-friendly Furniture:** There is an opportunity for companies to create budget-friendly furniture that is still functional and stylish for those on a tight budget. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can incorporate zipper technology to revolutionize the way people assemble and disassemble furniture. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can offer modular furniture options for consumers looking for easy-to-use and multifunctional pieces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can suggest innovative and budget-friendly furniture options like the SSCC Sofa to clients with smaller living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Eco-Sourced Cozy Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-couch.md) - [Family-Friendly Modular Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-v-cloud-modular-couch.md) - [Versatile Modular Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformer-couch-20.md) - [Modular Minimalist Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zonatta-bumper-sofa.md) - [All-in-One Modular Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezy-sofa.md) - [Modular Coffee Table Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silky-sofa.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulala-home-elitenest.md) - [Stacked Brick-Like Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-brick-modular-sofa.md) - [Mountainous Magnetic Wall-Mounted Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mousarris-summit-modular-sofa.md)
