There's not much detail about this extraordinary sofa-design, but the video hints at an intriguing and excellent design. The sofa appears to be made out of hundreds of thin, flat chair-shaped silhouettes, joined together by some kind of membrane in an accordion that can collapse down into a dictionary-think chunk or be spread out for feet on end, as a divan, chair or sofa.

(Thanks, Zaidan!)
Update: Vanessa sez, Here's a link to Molo, the company that makes the accordion sofa. They are a favorite of mine!"
Update: Norman sez, "Just got off the phone with Molo Design. They do not, as your correspondent, Vanessa, suggests, make the accordion chair." He sends this link to this company, who appear to be the manufacturers.
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
