    The frame for the sofa is made out of 2x4s, 2x10s, and 3/4" sanded pine plywood from The Home Depot. The foam for the cushions was from: www.foambymail.com/
    i ordered the following: Cushion, Lux Foam - High Quality WITH DACRON WRAP Dimensions: 3" x 24" x 66" and Dimensions: 3" x 18" x 66"
    the leather come from Tandy Leather and was the most expensive part. I will show how to use canvas or an old blanket in a future video as a more affordable option.

    The leather looks really good, I actually really like how the leather isn't perfectly pulled tight.

    • @HomeMadeModern
      @HomeMadeModern  7 лет назад +10

      yes the cushions came out great and we are excited to try more leather projects!

      HomeMadeModern but leather is a part of an dead animal that got treatment to not rot. educate yourself about the suffering of sentient beeings getting killed for leather production

    • @emiliana1767
      @emiliana1767 7 лет назад +10

      HomeMadeModern maybe also fake leather? Dont want to be a buzzkill, i really love your channel and projects, but its really unnecessary to use animal skin as a cushion cover. There are plenty great and cheap options without someone have to die! Nontheless, its a beautiful project ♥️

  • @TheSteveAS
    @TheSteveAS 7 лет назад +9

    Yes! Yes! This is exactly what I wanted to transition from our dining area to our living area. Instead of a sofa, I will use your design to create a banquette for the dining table, and then a desk area behind. So cool-looking with the "zig-zag" edge -- I could see painting that plywood edge a bright color to accentuate the shape even more. Thank you Ben for continuing to "open-source" your innovations!

    Job well done you two! Seeing this reminds me of the "modern" homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright back in his day, when the idea was to make use of every available square inch of space; when furniture was organic, natural and stylish, and minimalism didn't have to mean bleak. Once again, job well done and highly inspirational!

    Quite a cool design! And great video editing/production. The only improvements I might want would be arms (maybe ones that can also act as side tables or have storage like the add-on piece at the end - only higher) and a pull-out or flip-up storage under the seat. Great for a tiny space.
