The TERRA! Sofa is designed to offer furniture that incorporates the natural environment into the design by utilizing the soft and plush texture of overgrown moss as the cover for the couch. The armchair can be ordered as a kit that allows home owners to grow their very own sofa in their backyards or gardens.
The kit for the TERRA! Sofa contains a specially built cardboard frame that acts as the structure for the moveable. The couch comes flat-packed and can be put together by slotting the various cardboard units into one another to render the moveable three dimensional. From there, the frame is covered in soil and grass seeds and left to grow. The armchair requires constant watering to remain lush and green, while it provides a comfortable place to lounge.
