Shipping Smarts & Style. The Oi Sofa began with the idea of producing an adaptable, functional piece of furniture that was manufactured and shipped as efficiently as possible. Developed by Cocoon, the Oi Sofa has often been described as a "Tetris Sofa"...

The entire Oi unit ships in a 30" cube — a third of the space used by a standard sofa.

It sets up quickly without any required tools...

The arms, seats and backs snap onto the powder-coated metal base in a variety of ways...

The upholstered foam sofa blocks have removable shells avaialble in various colors and textures. In addition to lower shipping costs and decreased environmental impact, the modular components are easy to move and always fit through doorways and tight stairwells.

Pre-order one of the first 100 Oi modular sofas here. Oi costs $2200 plus shipping.

Nice post. I really like this sofa. I just wonder if it is comfortable. Looks nice but I don't know about white, I would probably want it in red or black.

I loooooooove the looks of this. I really like how the couch itself is neutral, and the color is provided by the base. And knowing that your $2k couch will *always* fit up a tight stairwell is reassuring. Now if only I had the budget :)
