Looks like they forgot something...

Ok, so if you have a copy of the Inspiration catalogue, take a look at page 11 "Flexible sofas" in the PDF, or page 18 and 19 in the actual printed catalogue. There, you can assemble your own sofa from 4 different styles, creating more than 32,000 combinations. Great, I thought.

The page lists 11 seating units, 7 armrests, 8 legs, and 11 accessories! Each armrest, leg, and accessory had dimensions, but the seating units, which are the bulk of the sofa, didn't! Furthermore, all the armrests and legs listed only the height in centimetres and inches, but no width! I guess we don't really need to know the width of the legs, but you'd think the width would be important for the armrests.

The concept is great, but it wasn't useful to us since we had no idea whether or not the seating units would fit in my friend's apartment.

It would have been a useful resource, putting the power into the hands of the consumer, but it sadly failed to do that.
