Lost in sofa. Daisuke motogi.

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.

about Perrin Drumm

Perrin Drumm is nothing if not a road trip enthusiast. After moving from her hometown of LA to NY and to LA again, she hiked through half a dozen National Parks, snow-shoed a sizable portion of the Adirondacks, and resisted the overwhelming charm of the South to get back to Brooklyn, where she struggles to learn the trumpet, aspires to be a better Scrabble player, and lives and writes, and remains, as of yet, catless.

citizen centric cities – the sustainable cities index 2018.

in many cities, citizens face huge challenges to meet their basic needs of survival, including shelter, access to food, water and warmth. once these are met, the human need for community, managing society and moving from “a to b” take on far greater importance.
