Misfits Modular Sofa by Ron Arad
The New York Times 4.17.08

Designer Ron Arad created this unique sectional sofa fifteen years ago for Italian company Moroso, and it is finally going into production this year. Misfits is comprised of six forms: two ottomans, two middle seats and two corner pieces. But the forms' untraditional shapes help make each grouping seem entirely unique...

 
 

The top picture comes from The New York Times and Misfits is covered in new Kvadrat upholstery. We personally prefer this sectional sofa in solid colors:

In yellow or orange it would resemble a giant cheese. Manufactured by Moroso. For more information, see A Sofa Dr. Seuss Might Have Dreamed Up from The New York Times.
