- Sofa, so good.
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy theme music)
Good mythical morning.
- There are few things in life more valuable
than finding a place to sit and do nothing, I mean,
we all love to slouch in a couch, to daze in a chaise,
to be ineffectual in a sectional.
- Today we're gonna give that old brown leather sofa
an upgrade, you're gonna wanna sink your booty
into these things of beauty.
- Alright, I got a booti-ful beauty couch here,
a booty-ful couch, ever seen a corpse in a coffin?
- Yes. - And thought, man,
that is so cushiony, I'd love to have that
in my living room. - No.
- Well not the man, the coffin.
But what if it wasn't a coffin, but it was a couch,
because that exists, the coffin couch, here it is.
In the predictable purple that you would want.
This is made and sold by VonErickson on Etsy.
- On Etsy? - Yes, you can get
anything on Etsy, man.
- Okay, so this is a coffin, but you can't get inside
of it, though, because once you close it down,
there's no room.
- It does fold to a fully shut position,
but not enough to accommodate a plump corpse.
I mean, it could be like a panini press.
- Yeah, that's how I love my corpses.
- Which is also a great idea for a couch.
Hey, you wanna sit on my panini press couch, it's a trap.
- You can, why don't you start your own Etsy
and sell that one.
- You'll be coughin' up a lot of dough to get this one,
$7,000, plus $1,800 for shipping.
- I'll pick it up myself, I'll just pick it up myself.
- $8,800 to buy this couch, but hey, two for one deal,
you get to be buried in the couch if you're incinerated
first, because the whole panini thing.
- Alright, when I say flexible love, you probably think
of a few things. - Or nothing.
- The last of which is a couch, but that's exactly what
the flexible love chair is made of.
Okay, this thing is a paper honeycomb structure
that can expand from a simple chair to a 12-seat bench.
You just have to see this video to understand
what I'm talking about. - Impossible.
- It looks like magic. - What?
- Look at this guy, that's it,
that's flexible love in action.
- It's a slinky chair. - And then watch this,
hold on to your hats. - Woah!
It doesn't stop.
Now, I would say that that guy's like a magician,
but he's not dressed liked a magician.
- No, well, I don't know, in that part of the world
maybe that's what a magician outfit is,
it's just a red polo.
- At least I've never seen a magician
without his shirt tucked in.
- This thing is legitimately amazing.
I mean, it is this honeycomb structure that can be a chair,
and then you just, magician whip it out,
and it's a 12-person bench.
I mean, I wanna have this thing just so I can invite people
over for my magic chair show.
Take a seat, you wanna take a seat, you wanna take a seat,
you wanna take a seat, you could have one,
and we could coordinate, we could both have our own
red polos, we could invite people over for parties,
and go crazy.
- Does it crawl down stairs?
- I'm sure it could.
Now it may not seem durable, because it's made from paper,
but it actually can hold 260 pounds of weight per seat,
and according to the manufacturer, the weight,
the equivalent weight of four grizzly bears.
So if you've got five grizzly bears,
one of em is gonna be sitting on the flo'.
But it's only between $600 and $960, apparently it changes
price as you expand it, but it never gets above $1,000,
so I say we should get one and set it right here,
get rid of these chairs, and then when we have guests,
we just expand it, magic time, put somebody on there.
- I'm open to that honeycomb action, bring it on.
- I thought you were, thought you were
calling me Honeycomb, again.
Move on. - If you're too woke
to define what's a wall and what's a floor,
this sofa will help you blur the lines.
It is the wall-climbing sofa from Korean artist Lila Jang.
Check it out, - Okay, this is cute.
- It's afraid of something, and it's,
my babysitter would always say, you driving me up the wall,
you kids, - Loretta?
- I'm in the wrong profession, and this couch,
- She was a professional babysitter?
I thought she was just a family friend.
- No, she's professional, man.
- Really, you had a pro babysitter?
- Yeah, yeah, she like took notes,
there was invoices involved.
- She took notes, Link was very good today.
- He drove me up the wall today.
But, I mean, it's kinda cool.
- I think this is cool, I would have this in my house
because it makes you instantly seem like a really
interesting person, look at the couch that I have
that goes up the wall.
- It's not for sale, it's more of an art piece,
but I mean it's kind of like the click bait of couches,
I notice it, but I'm pretty sure if I sat on it,
I would be disappointed.
- Okay, well only one way to find out.
- Lila Jang says, my work represents the midpoint
of that constant struggle between reality and the ideal,
which incidentally is the first slogan for Tinder.
- Oh, ouch Tinder.
- Reality and the ideal, there's a struggle.
- When you see a cluster of cacti, you probably don't say,
I wanna sit on that, but that's all about to change
thanks to fashion designer Maurizio Galante
who has created the cerruti baleri cactus sofa,
not just a sofa, this is a sofa plus an ottoman.
- I love ottomans.
- With a graphical cactus print.
Now this may seem pretty simple to you, I get it.
Cactus printed onto this thing, but on the website
where you can actually buy this thing, they go out
of their way to reassure you that you can sit on it.
All in one paragraph, it says, while you might think twice
about taking a seat at first, this brilliant sofa
is actually pretty cushy.
Would you believe you can sit on that?
And then a little bit later, while at first glance
you might hesitate to sit, you will actually find
a cushy place to rest, listen, it's not that hard
to understand, I understand the difference
between real cactus and cactus print.
I understand that that technology exists,
but my biggest problem with this thing is that
I don't even think it's actually a couch.
I've analyzed this thing, and I think
it's just a bunch of cactus balls.
- Well, can you sit on it?
I mean if it's cactus balls.
- Link, it's a print, you can sit on it.
It's $28,950, and that is the on-sale price.
I am completely against this thing, not only because
it's confusing about whether or not you can sit on it,
because it's just a bunch of cactus balls
that cost as much as a vehicle.
- That's crazy.
- I'm personally offended by this Maurizio,
we should talk, call me.
- But does it hurt if you,
- Don't flash my number, please don't flash my number.
- Sit on it. - It's just figurative.
- Does it, it doesn't hurt if you,
- No, just a print.
- My grandpappy always said, ain't nothing comfier
than the hype-o-patamoose,
and Maximo - I don't remember him
ever saying that. - Rierra's grandfather
told him the same thing because he created this hippo couch,
which is the actual size, one-to-one scale,
of an actually hype-o-patamoose.
- Now, is the hippo still alive
- No, it was never alive, this is a leather-lined
and creased replica, except for the middle part.
- So it's not taxidermy.
- You know it's not real because of the couch part
in the middle.
It took 480 man hours to make this thing.
- Which is significantly higher in hippopotamus hours,
because they don't have opposable thumbs.
I've seen em try to deal with furniture before.
- It'd be kinda cruel to get hippos to actually make
this thing, men and women made it.
It costs 72,000 pounds, which is $90,000.
- What, who, what, why?
- $90,000. - Why are we doing this?
- I think it also weights 72,000 pounds.
Just to put that into perspective, some other things
you could buy with $90,000: a used Tesla;
22,615 Big Macs; or this three-bedroom house in Detroit,
plus the one next to it.
- Two for one, I think I'm going to Detroit.
Of course I don't have to make the choice,
you're not saying I have to make the choice?
- No you do. - I don't have to.
- I'd like the couch.
- Okay, if you're sick of staring at your dumb roommate's
face, grab yourself a waffle, a wall-fa,
- Wall full of what?
- Wall-fa, it is exactly what it sounds like,
it is a two-sided couch that doubles as a wall,
again, something you can only understand
by seeing the video, look at this thing.
There it is, see how much fun they're having?
- It's a sheet.
- It's a membrane.
- Okay, it's a membrane.
- But look how fun it is Link.
Look, look, look, look, it just got real fun.
- You can raise your arms
when you're waggling back and forth on this thing.
- It's a little bit like the Stranger Things wall,
which I don't think I want in my home.
I'm still having visions of that.
But the official description reads,
this stretchy membrane divides the space
and offers a comfortable sitting area that becomes playful
when users interact from both sides of the wall.
But things get even more playful when you just
get on a normal couch with somebody,
you know what I'm saying?
The membrane doesn't add to the playfulness,
but that gives me an idea.
- Poke here, poke there.
- Cause I know that you're a little bit apprehensive
about the fact that Lily is getting to the age
where she might start dating, and I think maybe
you can say you're allowed to date, as long as it's done
on each side of the wall-fa.
- Yes. - How bout that?
- And I'm sitting beside her on her side of the wall-fa.
- No, come on, there's a membrane.
Nothing can go wrong, man.
Do whatever you want as long as you stay on
your side of the membrane.
- I'd like to see the statistics on that.
- For sales, email Julia.
I'm not making it up.
Don't email Julia about anything else, though,
trust me on that one.
- What, did she respond yet?
She didn't respond to us?
- She hasn't responded yet.
- Alright, now those are some impressive couches,
but we think we can do one better.
That's why we've created our own couch,
the Sit and Sweat Exercise Couch.
