Enlightened Couch
This sofa sleeper is designed by Giovannoni and Rodrigo Torres for domodinamica.
Inspired by the greek god of sleep, it has two arms with lights in place of the gods wings. The arms are made of flexible polyurethane resins covered with elastic fabrics which makes them flexible to point the lights anywhere in or around the couch.
It's not the most attractive or perhaps captivating piece of furniture one could own, but this piece truly belongs in reader's home.
For some reason it also reminds me of this old swedish book show that aired during the late 70's and early 80's. The show was a true socialist assertion where this awesome barefoot bohemian would read a chapter or two while sitting back in his amazing rainbow couch that looked like two hands.

This is the most beautiful couch I have ever seen. I would do just about anything to have this in my living room!
