Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Minosse Sofa by Marc Sadler is Business in the Front, Party in the Back

— April 5, 2011 — Art & Design
The Minosse Sofa is definitely a perfect example for the common saying "business in the front, party in the back." Refined and elegant when you first see it, the Minosse Sofa reveals a darker side to its aesthetic as soon as you round the corner to check out what it has in store behind it.

Designed by Marc Sadler for the Italian manufacturer MERITALIA, the Minosse Sofa will be exhibited at the 2011 Salone del Mobile show in Milan. Modern and sophisticated, it has the edge that many people are looking for these days in every facet of their lives (thank Lady Gaga for that).

Yet not everyone can commit to a truly crazy piece of furniture, there fore the Minosse Sofa is a happy compromise between the two worlds.
Trend Themes
1. Dual-aesthetic Design - The Minosse Sofa's 'business in the front, party in the back' design showcases a trend towards products that offer contrasting aesthetics.
2. Edge and Sophistication - The Minosse Sofa taps into the desire for modern and sophisticated designs that have an edgy twist.
3. Compromise Furniture - The Minosse Sofa represents a trend of compromise furniture that caters to individuals seeking a balance between conservative and avant-garde styles.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - The furniture manufacturing industry can explore opportunities to create dual-aesthetic designs that cater to diverse consumer preferences.
2. Interior Design - In the field of interior design, there is potential to create innovative spaces that incorporate edge and sophistication while maintaining a balanced aesthetic.
3. Home Décor Retail - Home décor retailers can capitalize on the trend of compromise furniture by offering a range of products that satisfy both conservative and unconventional tastes.
