Notes from Barry on designing the most uncomfortable sofa the world has ever seen.
Concept: A sofa that's simultaneously too big and too small. The ultimate paradox.
Sculpting the cushions to be both lumpy and flat, like the surface of a moon.
Targeted for the discerning couch potato who wants to challenge the status quo.
Estimated build time: 3-5 years, depending on how quickly you can tolerate the pain.
A follow-up project, where we take all the lessons learned from the original and apply them in a smaller, more compact design.
