Fun Sofa's design is industrial and minimalist style‭. ‬The metallic luster of the titanium tube has a sleek style‭, ‬and the stretchy oyster shell fabric is in a multi-color pattern on the sofa‭, ‬while the foam roller and yoga mat are in plain colors‭.‬ Because the Fun Sofa is a detachable piece of furniture‭, ‬people can mix and match the fabric and the foam roller according to their preferences‭.‬ The aspect ratio of the armrests and the back of the sofa are designed with a golden ratio of 1:1.618‭. ‬The rich fabric selections and the proper proportions have made to outlook of the sofa more balanced‭.‬ Even though the Fun Sofa is designed as a single-seater‭, ‬the designer hoped to create a more suitable size for a wide range of users‭ ‬to meet all needs‭. ‬Fun Sofa aims to become a new indicator in sports furniture and an indispensable part for families‭. Due to the epidemic last year‭, ‬the global shipping situation was severely stuck one after another‭. ‬The phenomenon resulted in relatively expensive shipping costs that led to the demand of‭ "‬the smaller the shipping size is‭, ‬the better‭." ‬Fun Sofa is fully assembled furniture‭; ‬titanium tubes and cushions are offered detachably to solve the high costs brought by shipping‭. ‬Hence‭, ‬this design has embodied the requirement by changing the shape of the sofa‭.‬ People's daily lives were also affected by the epidemic‭. ‬Because of lockdown‭, ‬people not only have to work and study from home but also start doing sports at home‭.‬ Fun Sofa combines the conception of a trampoline‭, ‬foam roller‭, ‬yoga mat‭, ‬and other exercise equipment with a sofa‭. ‬This item mixes‭ ‬dynamic activities‭, ‬static activities‭, ‬and relaxation into a piece of new multifunctional furniture‭, ‬allowing people to use limited space for exercises‭. Global awareness for energy-saving and carbon reduction has arisen; hence, the Fun Sofa embodied the concept through manufacturing and transportation. Its lightweight and vertical flat packaging design can help reduce transportation costs and carbon footprint effectively.
