I’m Extremely Picky When I’ve To Chose A Product, ‘N’ This Couch Looks Very Interesting.

Point Is : Different Unique And Attractive…

Having Knowledge About How To Manipulate Images Using 3D MAX Doesn’t Mean Having “Taste.”

Some People Have Money ‘N’ Their Houses Look So Ugly. Some Don’t ‘N’ They Captivate You With Simplicity ‘N’ Taste.

I’d Love To See This Couch In White Acrylic…Maybe With Some Nice Speakers. =]

Keep Up The Good Work.
Let That Imagination Continue Flowing…

Simple designs with straight lines can run into the thousands, and something like this would be in the $20,000+ range, then you usually have to make a second and a third, etc. That aside, great design, but not really usable as a sofa. Attempting a quick nap, you would slide into the void and have to call for rescue. Apparently not many of you have had to fork out the cash to pay for prototypes.

The Djinn series knocks spots of this design effort, not forgetting that we're attempting to compare a real creation (a veritable design icon) to a rather common 3D render (image).

I don't know what all the fuss is about with the digital creation of this.. it has to start somewhere.. Quite cheaper to do it on the computer, then follow through with the real thing.. Great design concept though! I'll be sure to see it in new sci-fi flicks soon! Looks fantastic and it seems like it will feel not too bad.
