Macintosh Couch
Rumor has it that a computer shop had about 20 old Mac IIs and IIfx computers lying around, gathering dust. To fix this, they decided to put together a sofa out of these. Since each Mac II was originally designed to hold a heavy 20-inch CRT on top, the couch has no problem supporting the rear ends of numerous couch potatoes, although one could picture how hard it must feel to sit on it.
Cultivating Growth Sofa
Cultivating Growth, the northern hemisphere's newest piece of urban street art, is a living sofa dreamed up by the Chicago Botanic Garden. Unlike all that fiberglass furniture also dotting downtown as part of Suite Home Chicago, this creative couch at the Harris Bank Plaza is covered with live plants.
"We wanted to make it fun and easy to take care of, so we used common plants that would take sun or shade and dry and windy conditions," says Cindy Baker, the garden's project manager. "We installed an internal watering system because horticulture in the city is very different than in the suburbs." The garden topiary features creeping jenny as the main "upholstery" on its steel frame, a seat made from flagstones and thyme, arm coverings made of water hyssop, pillows fashioned from hens and chicks and a throw of blue fan flowers. The sofa is 66 inches wide, 30 inches deep and 44 inches high.
