If you've spent any time on social media in recent years, you might recognize John Lewis' new Innovation Living Cozy Pad Sofa Bed. It has all the hallmarks of a viral style from emerging brand OMHU, with its flat, foam-filled cushions that can be rearranged to make a comfortable bed.
But it's not the only sofa it draws inspiration from. It's giving 'piano key', too, a style rooted in the modular seating revolution of the 1970s that balances sculptural design with sink-in comfort. Just like Mario Bellini's Camaleonda sofa or the cult-favorite Togo chair from Ligne Roset, the piano key sofa has become a design icon in its own right. Characterized by oversized channeled sections that mimic the look of piano keys from above, the style has left an indelible mark on contemporary interiors, despite not being attributed to a single designer.
