Italy-based Capellini teamed up with designer Fabio Novembre to create Adaptaion, a sofa that seems to be off-balance or broken at first, but is actually a clever optical illusion. This is due to its wedge-shaped seat cushions and simple color scheme. Don’t let the design fool you, the sofa boasts a variable legs system of different heights with the cushions gradually growing in size to make the seat base perfectly parallel to ground level.
This optical illusion formed by the oblique line of the backrest, simulating a falling effect, also comes in several different colors: black, white, grey, red burgandy, cloud, and air force blue. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there’s no word on pricing, as these may be made to order.

Adaptation is a seating system confronted with the uncertainties of our time, with the precariousness of the structures, suggesting that just a little adaptive capacity is needed to continue to live and to smile. History teaches us that those who cannot adapt are doomed to extinction,” said the designer.
