The Tent Sofa by Philippe Malouin has an adventurous side. Your kids will love camping out in the safety of your living room with this unusual design.
Aside from its whimsical characteristics, the Tent Sofa also provides a functional bed for unexpected overnight guests.
The seat of the Tent Sofa actually begins as a regular sofa, and then transforms into a sleeping tent in just a few simple steps.
Implications - Businesses that reinvent or modify an everyday experience to something more interactive and unusual will fare well in today's society. As more and more consumers are faced with dull, restless day-to-day lifestyles, the products that are able to provide a pick-me-up or a dash of excitement will be the ones to which many individuals will be drawn.
