The Do Lo Res sofa by Ron Arad conjures up many a visual imagery. At first glance the soft rectangular shapes that make up the design remind me of a city skyline, yet the name, reminiscent of “do re me” draws me to thinking of the digital display of music tempo. I like to think of the random pink cube as a note out of tune from the general melody. Perhaps this is what Arad intended though as the inspiration came from the arts, design, technology and the virtual world.

Each rectangular unit of the sofa is fixed to the platform with steel pins and vary in height from 27.5cm to 83cm.

If like me you are a fan of sixties cool and like to add just a touch of it to your home, the Round Swivelling Tub Chair from Dwell is a great way to give a nod back to the future, embracing the optimism of that decade's designers. With it's ABS plastic outer, faux leather inner and chrome base the chair comes in at a more than reasonable price point. Personally I am rather taken by the white shown above, but there's also a black option for those wanting something a little more understated. You could even buy both and add them to a swinging monochrome lair.
