80s style is currently being revisited in pop culture and one of the most popular games of the decade served as the inspiration for Manga Arquitetura's Tetris Sofa. The colorful, modular seating solution is made up of soft blocks that can be reconfigured in many different ways to serve various functions for the home or office. The multifunctional sofa even has the potential to be used as a surface to sleep on.
While most of the elements of the design are made up of rectangular pieces, the Tetris Sofa does include one round cushion that fits perfectly along the back of the gridded metal back for visual interest. The flexible furniture piece would make a colorful and functional addition to any space.
