The Forcemeat Sofa by Yuliyan Mikov is a seating design unlike any I've ever imagined. The designer doesn't give any details as to how the sofa is made, but it looks like a series of cleverly sliced and stacked hollow tubes.
I could see the Forcemeat Sofa by Yuliyan Mikov in a contemporary lounge, or perhaps in the waiting room of an upscale design studio. See more shots of this incredible seating design above.
Implications - Eco-friendly design is a growing facet of the art and design world due to the explosion of environmental concern in society and popular culture. Customers care more than ever about the products they are purchasing and using and how they will affect their surrounding environment. Businesses should use this concern to their benefit and provide shoppers with eco-friendly options.
