Pretty In Pixels

January 12, 2009 in Art,Color,Designers We Love,Furniture,Seating with 4 Comments

Here’s a fun bit of trivia, found on Yanko Design: “Before the invention of photography, artificial pixels (short for PICture ELements)simply did not exist. It wasn’t until the personal computer hit the mainstream did the word “pixel” become widely known outside of geeks, video/photographers and the CIA.”

It’s a good think that pixels do exist in the mainstream, or else the world might never have seen this unique couch envisioned and created by designer Cristian Zuzunaga, who I have decided to call the king of the pixel.

As couches and sofas go, this one is definitely tickling my fancy, and I just know it would look great in my living room.

    It’s a really nifty concept, but it kind of makes me feel like I have blurred vision. Maybe if the colors weren’t QUITE so crazy?

    Personally, LadySun, I wonder if it resolves into some kind of pattern. How far away would I have to get to see it, though?
