Furniture does not have to be boring

"Voluptuous, alluring shapes", "burst of creativity", "slightly dangerous stance" - are we talking about furniture here? The wooden boxes that support our bums? That, and much more. Witness some attractive examples, courtesy of this Japanese site:

There are actually futons possibilities that have padding or bed mattresses stitched to the body itself, but then you’re stuck with that color of material and kind of bed mattress. You may also select a mattress and protect in your selection of material and colour. That is the advantage of selecting a body in your selection of design.
