The living room of my house is like an oasis, a small escape from the outside world where I sit down to watch my favorite series, have tea and scroll on TikTok or just sit and relax on a break from telecommuting. But we must emphasize one fact that is an elephant in the room: living rooms have not changed in centuries; they still have the same configuration. A central or sectional sofa, a TV in front, a rug in the middle and that’s it, not much more than that furniture pieces. This is where Samsung appears to shake the floor and propose an avant-garde and daring change.
Samsung, the tech giant behind some of the world’s most stunning TVs and other gadgets, has decided it’s time to update the boring old sofa. So, who did they call to give this piece of furniture a renovation? The design firm Form Us With Love from Stockholm, a specialist in transforming everyday things into technological works of art! They have already revolutionized the world, for example, with their Lace Lamps or the Stilt Armchair, and have worked with some other companies as big as Ikea.
Forget What a Sofa Must Look Like and Take a Look at the New One From Samsung
Now it’s the sofa’s turn to jump (kinda late) into the 21st Century! The idea is to make it more comfortable and suitable for the current lifestyle, full of tablets and smartphones. Get ready to sit back and relax on the couch of the future, as Samsung and Form Us With Love have imagined it. You gotta open your mind but, when you do, you’ll be mind-blown by this idea.
The idea for both companies was something that went outside the standards of old square and unadventurous furniture and, so far, one of the most impressive products that are coming into the market this year. Shift is the name of this innovation in the world of furniture, presented by Samsung. What is it? It’s actually a couch, but with a twist that makes it as versatile as a couch or a sofa have never been. This avant-garde invention is a 10’x10′ hammock woven with resistant nylon. You can fix it on wall brackets or on a frame, and voilà! You have a traditional sofa.
But, furthermore, if you want to relax and read a book, you can also turn it into a sun lounger with a simple move. Do you want to sleep? Shift transforms into a comfortable undulating bed. There are at least sixteen ways to shape this couch for you to adapt to what you need at the moment.
Move Your Samsung Shift Couch to Wherever You Need It
If you are looking for a versatile, vanguard piece of furniture? Shift is the answer, as its shape depends on where you place it and what you want to do. Unlike the heavy and traditional furniture gadgets, this couch-hammock weighs almost nothing, and is created with the idea that you can move it simply by unhooking the wall grips. Roll it up, take it to the next room and install it in a matter of a couple of minutes. Amazing, isn’t it?
Now that you’re excited with this idea, where will it hit the market? Well, Samsung doesn’t have any plans to put the Shift couch in production any soon, and Form Us With Love are just in the early prototype validation stages. With a little bit of luck, we’ll see at the end of this year or the next.
