When you see the first of these unusual seating arrangements designed by Sebastien Wierinck the first thing that strikes you is how unusual an idea it is.

But as you sift through the images, you are struck by how thoroughly the designer extracts all the possible related ideas within his design.

It is good to see the many different settings these sofas based on electric wires look good in.

Here is how he set one up to create a reception desk and some seating in an office in Lyons, France.

So it is not unexpected when he throws in a new element: lighting.

It makes sense. Electrical wiring is used for carrying…well – lighting. It is a chic application of the idea.

But, is this a cozy sofa with a built-in light to read by? Hardly.
