Furniture usually requires a hefty investment of money, so the Frame Sofa is intended to help ensure that the investment you make can be maintained over the years. Created by the Cho Hyung Suk Design Studio for MUNITO, the sofa features six cushions that are placed within a wrapped pipe frame. This allows individuals pieces to replaced if they start to show signs of wear or if a different design aesthetic is desired.
The Frame Sofa also makes moving the furniture easier as the individual pieces can be removed and carried separately rather than as a singular unit. Moreover, the ability to interchange the various cushions enable users to get the design aesthetic they want rather than settling for whatever is available off the shelf.
