First try removing the foam cushions and wrapping them with a layer or two of batting, available from upholstery supply places. This will plump them up and make the fabric covers fit more tightly.
Visually arresting. Could you read a book in that living room area, though? Would the ceiling lights be enough? I imagine this is just an area to receive guests in, and that reading of the Sunday N...

It's a great sculptural shape. How about silver leaf, which would be easy, or black lacquer, a bit more work.

Can you pop new stacking units into a closet somewhere and add counters/cabinets?
