morfeo
THEY CALL HIM THE GOD OF SLEEP, although we think Domodinamica’s Morfeo bears more of a resemblance to a cartoony alien Shrek. From the playful, curvy lines to the adjustable antenna, Morfeo is immediately amicable, if a bit strange looking. It is functional, however; the antenna are actually reading lights while the seat itself folds out to a comfortable sleeper. If the idea of having two glowing eyes peer over your shoulder is too much, each lamp can be switched off with the press of a button.

bizare - but slightly fabulous! It’s that top photo with the bright sunlight and the crisp modern surroundings that sells the sofa. Although its anthropomorphic ways might scare me at times.
Clever design, however.

I totally agree, Franki. That top photo really makes it shine. But yeah — I can totally see myself stumbling into my living room in a half-awake stupor and having the living (night)lights scared out of me!

Hey Grant, thanks for stopping by–and yeah, it *does* look a lot like Shrek, come to think of it.

quite interesting… I thought the green one looked like a frog at first. Though I do see some Shrek like tendacys too.

I don’t like this sofa. Those lights are going to eat anyone who takes a nap on that thing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
