&#8220;Backpack mogels Eastpak teamed up with design studio Quinze &amp; Milan to create this catch-all, carry-all sofa that&#8217;s part of their &#8216;built to resist&#8217; collection. Although at first glance it seems a little strange, we think it&#8217;s a <em>great</em> idea for an all in one home office. No really! Think about it!</p>
<div class="content extended">
<p>In small apartments having a home office can be difficult, even if you&#8217;re working out of a closet. When <a href="http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/03/17/quinze-milan-x-eastpak-furniture-collection/">we first saw this sofa</a>, we couldn&#8217;t really decide what to put in all those pockets, snacks? Remote Controls? Tea Cup Poodles? But then it dawned on us&#8230; what if it held all of our office supplies? The pockets are large enough to hold file folders, books, supplies, even your laptop. They&#8217;d be the perfect place to holster small electronics, cords, adapters, battery chargers — you name it. As long as your cat doesn&#8217;t use it for a scratching post, we&#8217;re not against the idea in a small space. We like the idea of at-hand storage and it would be much easier to stash away all your gaming controls and not have to put them in a box, on the other side of the room, just to make them look pretty.</p>
<p><em>What do you think? Is the backpack sofa here to stay or just another crazy designer idea?</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before my visit to the Herman Miller headquarters in Michigan I wasn&#8217;t familiar with the <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Goetz-Sofa" target="_blank">Goetz</a> sofa. Over the course of 4 days I sat in a variety of pieces from Herman Miller&#8217;s <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/MarketFacingTech/hmc/landing/homeLanding/ModernClassics.pdf" target="_blank">Modern Classics</a> collection and this sofa definitely holds its own. There&#8217;s something really lovely about those high sides sheathed in a finely finished timber veneer. I came away trying to figure out how I could afford one &#8211; I&#8217;ll be saving my pennies for a while but it is a truly beautiful piece of design. Discover has just ran an <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/seven-questions-for-industrial-designer-mark-goetz/" target="_blank">interview</a> with designer <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/Designers/Goetz" target="_blank">Mark Goetz</a> or check out this video interview with him.</p>
