Box Sofa from Autoban Built by De La Espada

6-24-box-sofa-1.jpg

This sleek and minimal sofa design from Autoban's Seyhan Özdemir & Sefer Çaglar seems to be inspired by a Donald Judd piece. The straight wooden frame will probably scare off many loungers from trying the tufted upholstered interior. We're fond of the tall and thin spindle legs that keep the box high above the ground...

would that stop the catz from scratching up the sides of the couch? hmm?

too bad i can't afford even a 10th of that couch, which wouldn't cover m'arse anyway.

i like it though. seems nice for dividing a room up, even. the back must be good looking, no?

kdkaboom...i agree, it is very expensive but a great idea for dividing up a larger space!

I'm sorry, but am I the only one who thinks this looks like a pine box coffin?

I'd be worried about those legs breaking/buckling if one does anything more than (1) sit down carefully and (2) stand up carefully. (Though I guess that insofar as it's not a problem for most chairs, perhaps it wouldn't be a problem for this couch, either...)

I'd like this a lot with more substantial legs:

Looks like Museum seating - not comfy at all.

i would love to have the opportunity to take a seat for the true 'bum test'.. but as far as looks go i think it could work very well in the right environment.... the price is a little high for me.. but that is me.

Looks about as comfortable as one of those coffin sofas we saw here a while ago.
