As most of us are far handier with a pile of Legos than tools, wood and raw upholstery, Japanese design studio Torafu Architects has created these large scale foam building blocks that making assembling furniture easier than an IKEA bookshelf.
The Soft Blocks are designed to look like concrete cinderblocks, but they’re actually made from a felt material packed with dense foam so they’re comfortable to sit on while still being sturdy enough to support someone’s weight.
Sadly, the Soft Blocks are still just a design concept, but imagine how easy moving would be if all of your furniture was assembled from these blocks? Filling the moving truck would be like playing a game of Tetris. [Torafu Architects via designboom]
