As far as multifunctional furniture goes, the MUS Sofa is perhaps one of the sleekest and sophisticated pieces I've ever seen. This minimalist seat features a side table that wraps around it like an embracing low-level shelf.
Designed by Francesc Rifé for KOO International, the MUS Sofa was inspired by the Nordic culture. It is able to accommodate many different purposes despite its deceivingly simple design. Perfect for family homes, it also adds character to any living space, making it both great to look at and practical.
