When we see a train, we think of its being a complete unit, apart from the functional differences of the front engine and caboose. When we see a modular sofa, the same feeling applies – usually its not all the same piece fit together, and rather, it includes a chaise longue, ottoman, chair, sofa, etc. In this week’s Top Ten list, we take a glimpse at the versatile world of modular sofa designs in an effort to accomplish infinite design potential any day we please.
