当自己可以用三个旧的椅子和一个侧滑盖制作真正的自己的沙发的时候谁还会需要DFS沙发？举个例子，非艺术家Greg Papove，他最新制作的省钱东西，用袜子和家具，把握住了全球紧缩时候自己的口袋。
Who needs a year-round DFS sofa sale when you can make your own from three old chairs and a slip cover? Not artist Greg Papove, for one. His latest wallet-friendly creation, Socks + Furniture, arrives just as the worldwide austerity squeeze approaches a death-grip.








组成了三个东西——一张沙发，一盏灯，一个桌子，Papove 用偏向手工制作的艺术哲学来创造了古怪而有趣的休息室装饰。他的目标是从陈旧的合理生态方式里创建新的对象，而这全部是由袜子启发而来。
Consisting of three items – the sofa, a lamp and a table – Papove has used an artistic slant on the make-do-and-mend philosophy to create a quirky and fun lounge set. He aims to create fresh objects from tired old ones in an ecologically sound way. All inspired by socks.
The Unify 沙发本身阐明了它的简洁性，收集统一的袜子来覆盖坏掉的椅子。咖啡桌的五条像脚样的腿作为支撑装置。被包好的桌腿卡在用真空方法包装的表皮中，并很容易拆除运输。三分之一的袜子作为基础的ZAP灯，是一个非常有互动性的作品。用户需要在毛毯上摩擦自己的袜子生成静电。一个灵敏的交换机用感应到的静电打开装置，这确实是一个聪明的想法。在一个星期天的下午，DFS就被击败了。
The Unify sofa speaks for itself with its simplicity; the collection of ill-matching chairs unified by the all covering giant slip/sock. The Five Toes coffee table draws on the idea of legs as supporting devices. The socked legs slot in to a surface created using a vacuum-packing method, and is easily dismantled for transportation. The third of the sock-based trinity, the Zap Lamp, is a very interactive item. The user is required to generate static by rubbing their own hosiery on the shag carpet base. A sensitive switch registers the static electricity and turn the device on. A bright idea indeed. Beats trawling around DFS on a Sunday afternoon.
