Designer: Danielle Sobik
Having problems with your loved one or significant other? Tired of paying large psychiatry or couples therapy bills? Designer Danielle Sobik may have found the answer. Sobik has created a couch that represents the lifestyles that we instantly recognize, modern and impersonal.As a couple sit apart on the sofa they are supervised when a cold blue pattern begins to grow around them. The blue pattern signifies their distance apart from each other. With the pattern changing in relation to proximity, as they move towards each other warm pink petals begin to form signifying their closeness. Surrounded by warm pink petals and the occasional blue, the thoughtful and playful development of the pattern means an ever evolving and changing pattern display occurs.
While the couch may not give exact word on word advice, one partner can clearly identify if the other partner is being distanced towards him/her. Sobik has created this sofa Using light emitting (Electrolumiscent) technology in conjunction with trigger sensitive materials the visual pattern displays a randomized pattern which forms depending on where a person is located on the sofa.
As for Psychological experts, while this product has yet to hit the market, instead of hurting their business from the competition, they could use it to their advantage. Many couples are embarrassed/ ashamed to seek professional help. This could give the professional a heads up of what is really going on if the couple is not honest about what they are feeling and why to begin with. This might also give their office environment a little spice in comparison to the typical, boring leather, "lay on the couch and share your feelings" chair.
