The Loafa is [IKEA's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resten) latest innovation. The furniture brand partnered with the gab bois for Tommy Cash to create a sofa that resembles bread buns. While this piece is uncharacteristic of IKEA's typical minimalist designs, it certainly appears plush and inviting.

In design circles, rapper Tommy Cash is known for his eccentric ideas and concepts. It is clear that the Loafa is a testament to his authentic style. The couch is designed to resemble glazed bread rolls and appears good enough to eat. In addition, the couch is a nod to designer Mario Bellini's classic [Camaleonda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camaleonda-sofa) [modular sofa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smooth-sofa), according to the gab bois. However, the Loafa is not designed as a modular couch and will remain L-shaped.
