The world is ever-changing and so MyWorld by Philippe Starck hopes to ensure that individuals stay connected to it as conveniently as possible. It is an all-encompassing sofa system that incorporates technology into its design to address all the tech savvy people arising on a daily basis.
Set to be produced by Italian furniture manufacturer Cassina, MyWorld by Philippe Starck also addresses the flexibility between the office and home. A customizable piece of furniture, it can come as a three-seater or armchair and everything in between. It also boasts tables, box-cupboards and privacy screens. The famed French designer and architect states, "MyWorld is a cocoon, a nest, a world where we can be egocentric and comfortably commune with our own shadow or collect some snatches of news from the world, that is said to be real."
