In practice. Bene’s COOMO uses replaceable components as part of its structure.
What to keep in view
The design provides for repair. The manufacturer’s documentation does not measure how long units stay in use.
Replace the part that wears
Bene and Swedish studio Form Us With Love designed the sofa with components that can be replaced separately. The arrangement can change using a corner, a seat and a pouf, while the cover or a structural component can be exchanged without replacing the whole sofa.
