    You know how your phone, change, pen, or whatever is always disappearing into that crack between adjacent cushions or the back of the couch? Very annoying, yes. Which is why design studio Daisuke Motogi Architecture decided that we need to own those cracks.

    Result: the Lost In Sofa chair, which repurposes that flaw into a feature.

    Being able to put the remote, book, iPad, or whatever you’ve got safely into one of these little spots seems like something anybody could get used to. I’m not sure I’d trust my coffee in it, though, and of course it would be a paradise for crumbs.

    On the other hand, the amount of change you’ll lose in it over a year or two will probably suffice to buy you a pretty nice dinner when money is tight and you have to resort to looking between the cushions.
