Inspired by the human – let’s call it a tendency, not a failing – to lose objects in the creases of our sofas, Tokyo-based architect Daisuke Motogi created Lost in Sofa, a comfy armchair that embraces that tendency with slits designed specifically to hold objects like notebooks and slips of papers. It can also be used to display flowers or postcards, and its flat cubes can support mugs of coffee. No, it won’t help you hold onto loose change, but I love how the problem of losing items in couches got Motogi thinking about the functionality of couches in general, and ultimately led to this design. Start saving your pennies, because although shipping is free Lost in Sofa costs $1,225.
