This is interesting. Thanks for posting it.

The shopper in the photo doesn't need a reminder to buy Juice that's for sure

Hey-o Ana!

The photo is great, but it really is hard to do this installation justice. Really really amazing.
I am fortunate enough to live in LA and can visit the Machine Project in person. If you live here, go see it!

Compare apples to apples. This sofa is likely made of hard wood with quality joint construction. 95% of new furniture is stapled, low quality wood.
Besides, this thing has character.

Sorry, did somebody say it was dangerous to stack books? Absurd.

If you can't manage stacked books without injury, then please avoid the following as they would also be extremely dangerous:
-Swinging a hammer
-Closing a car door
-Walking barefoot on the beach
-Drinking hot coffee
-Petting a cat

Karim loooooooooves him some Plastic.
Even if it's not his, this stuff is all very 5 minutes ago, if not Out completely.
But beauty is where you find it, no?

Being an upholsterer, I have seen this before.

Your cushion is displaying 2 separate problems:

-The cover is "rolling" a bit on the insert. It creates that sagging look where the weltchord or seam is. Removing the thin, slippery insert cover will help with this symptom, but you must do this carefully to avoid damaging the layer of poly which is likely covering the foam. I tell clients to flip the cushion occasionally.

-The wrinkling on the actual sitting part of the cushion is a common symptom of a long single cushion. You could cut down on the wrinkling by replacing with a firmer foam, but you will never get rid of the problem completely.

Do not cut the foam core down, as suggested by some. The insert appears to fit well.

Just ball it up and don't look in that drawer unless you have to.

Can I post my contact info on here? I will happily take on this upholstery job or any others in Los Angeles
