Renowned Japanese studio Nendo, led by Oki Sato, has designed the Soft Brick sofa with cuboid cushions stacked in staggered layers, resulting in a playful, modular, and minimal piece of furniture that has an almost Tetris feel to it.

Made for Japanese brand ichido°, the total size and shape of the sofa may be changed freely by connecting together multiple units. The side table is also modular and may be tucked in the middle of the sofa or connected to and integrated with the ends. Cushion edges have a minor gap between the double-stitching to reveal a different fabric, so that by design the cushions appear linear and joined like courses of brick.
