Bliss is a sofa and ottoman set designed for when sea levels rise.
When waters reach the “critical” mark on Bliss’s sea level indicator, Bliss transitions seamlessly from standing to floating.
The sofa comes equipped with many features to provide comfort in an ever-changing world, including a repurposed-pine paddle conveniently located behind the cushions. As well as an emergency strobe and rocket flare hidden away in the arm rests.
Inside the ottoman, you’ll find only the bare essentials, including a user manual and built-in cocktail set. So you can just sit back, relax, and continue doing nothing.
Bliss debuted at Tuleste Gallery as part of NYC Design Week 2023.
