Edra Historia Naturalis Aster Papposus Sofa

Is it a sofa or a jellyfish?

Edra is an amazing brand that make in my opinion really wacky furniture.

The Historia Naturalis (natural history) Aster Papposus Sofa is part of the natural history range and with is jellyfish style would work so will in a amazing room with sea views. The silky blue fabric will become a massive collectors item in the future.

You can't not want one of these but you need A the budget and B the room to fit it in... I would love to see this in someones house.
