Dream sofa... at least for a plush maker :)

I just couldn't not share this with you...  For those of you who do not know the geniuses designers Campana brothers here is a little teaser on their fabulous work and also what would be my dream
couch :)
It comes in many colors and textures and I just think it is amazing! (I know my fellow Plushteamers will be loving it!) They are selling this new collection through Edra and you will probably come across a picture in any of the design magazines out there. They had gotten a lot of attention with their plush animals chairs like the one below and are now collected by designs museums around the world.
This is the Alligator chair and you can find this one as well as others from their newest editions at the famous Moss gallery/shop in New York. It comes at a hefty price ($85,000) but if you have the money and you are a collector I think they definitely belong to the list of must have contemporary designers.
I love their creativity and use of what could seem like odd and ordinary materials for their designs. These materials (wood, fabric, cords...) always have a lot of texture and make, to my opinion, their creations very whimsical, poetic and appealing to our inner child.
Also check this link for a V&A show they had made in 2007.
I hope you will enjoy discovering their work as much as I do!
