QWERTY

Sooner or later, we all end up by falling asleep on our computer’s keyboard. Turning the archetypal image of a keyboard into a sofa bed, QWERTY holds you on its soft keys while working in the office or at home, bringing a pinch of irony in our daily life. Anyway QWERTY is much more than a sofa bed. Thanks to micro electric motors controlled by a remote control, every single keycushion is adjustable to give total freedom. In this way, the furniture becomes a unique and comfortable support.

Parts with ambiguous symbols assist the child in expressing emotions and creating new and interesting characters, while getting a different connotation depending on rotation and placement. This encourages interaction between youngsters and can help develop social skills.
