Here is a very unusual woven foam sofa from designer Daniel Hedner of Imaginary Office that definitely removes itself from the norm. The Pleats-Pleats features specialized flexible polyurethane foam from Recticel which allows the bends and interlocking around the steel frame. I do not think this will be one to consider for future reupholstering but it sure look cool so you will have to make concessions. See more from the Imaginary Office furniture collection and feature products from the Greenhouse and Stockholm Furniture Fairs here.

When you look at "Scroll" sofa beds by Cor, you can see the design possibilities in creating a space. The intelligence behind this product was created by interior designer Kirsten Antje Hopper and product designer Steffen Kroll for Studio Vertijet. Cor features four different back settings ranging from a normal seating position all the way to horizontal to accommodate sleeping. I like how they were able to take an open concept in the picture and place different furniture shapes to create a blended look. It gives the room many seating options, sofa bed options and creates a nice overall balance. More information: here.

The Milan Furniture Fair is the testing ground for some of the most innovative and unusual furniture designs from around the world many of which become mainstream items. This year's show will feature the likes of the "Cloud Paper" sofa from Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka which will be prototyped in paper as shown but will later make a debut in a similar fabric. This ruffled sofa series by renowned manufacturer Moroso of Italy is said to be "reminiscent of clouds in the sky or the flow of water". Furniture Fashion will of course feature more from the Milan Furniture Fair in the near future.

When it comes to a list of truly great modern sofa designs there is at most one or two from even the top manufacturers, but this is not the case from De Sede of Switzerland. De Sede puts serious pride and meticulous attention to detail into every sofa they make, and pictures simply don't do this collection of modern and classic contemporary sofas, and sectionals justice. There are also unique customer options to this collection including custom sizing, optional multi-function features, and the ability to create their own models with an in-house development team of experienced specialists. Your own personal sofa can be created on CAD, and a design team will accompany the customer through all the planning stages right up to the prototype production. Here are some of their sofa models that caught my eye, you can see the rest of the De Sede collection here.
