Are you part of the herd or are you willing to have some balls? Are you quietly mumbling “me too” or are you going to stand up ? Try new things, break from the heard and grow some kahunas. Dare to be different with these sofas made of unusual material:

Grass sofa

The grass sofa. The old preserve of the eco-warrior. Personally however I’d think this sofa would be pretty comfy as well – I mean the spongy grass and the soft earth. I love lying on grass at picnics or in the park, so having a sofa made out of nature’s carpet would be pretty cool. Downside? You’d have a sofa you have to water. And instead of spare change down the back of it you might find a few worms or slugs. Ah well, you win some you lose some.

Mac Sofa

So slightly less comfy than the sofa above but steeped in nostalgia and memories of a mis-spent youth, how about a sofa made entirely out of Mac 2’s. Pretty geek. Downside? If you’re brining a girl back to your place, you’re unlikely to get any action on this sofa (although how many people own a Mac 2 sofa and bring girls back regularly?)

Sofa made of light

Ok, so it’s probably not actually made of light (as evidenced by the fact that it exists) but it looks pretty cool none the less. Far more likely to get chicks on this sofa, especially if there’s a mood setting on the light brightness. “Hang on baby, let me turn the light down a notch. And let me add a reddish tint to it as well”. Ok, so fiddling with the controls of your sofa isn’t likely to feature highly in any dating handbooks but perhaps some preset mood settings… Am I thinking about this too much?

Sofa made of sand/snow

This one is pretty cool. It’s basically a padded sheet you can take anywhere and turn any (moldable) surface into a sofa. Sand and snow I think would be my two top picks. The beauty of course is that you can use pretty much anything you can think of. Downsides? Unless you have a sand pit in your house you’re going to have to travel a little way to make this one work. And there’s no TVs on the beach. Still, pretty neat.

Diamond Sofa

Ok, so wile this one may not look like it’s made out of diamonds (and in truth, it’s not made out of diamonds) it’s called the diamond sofa and when finished will have 160 crystals of Swarovsky embedded in it. Frankly I’m not that impressed – I think having a sofa like this would scream “I have too much money and I don’t know how to make myself happy so I resort to buying expensive items in the hope that somehow my life will improve”. With a quiet whimper of “please like me” thrown in for good measure. I’ve included it in this list since it’s at least a little different.

Sofa Made of Comfy Balls

So this one looks a little bit like a bed rather than a sofa but using the little straps you can mold the shape to be pretty much anything you want. The peaceful sleep of the beautiful woman probably belies something which isn’t that comfy but I’m a sucker for marketing so until proven otherwise I’m calling this super comfy. The fact that she’s beautiful helps.

Sofa Made Out Of Pure Gaming Pleasure

For all the gaming fans out there, the sofa only really has one purpose; to sit on while playing Halo 3. For you people, you’ll be wanting the sofa made entirely out of PURE GAMING PLEASURE. This sofa plays surround sound from your console, rumbles in time with the music and generally is streamlined to be the ultimate sofa for playing games on. Drool away!
