We all yearn for that bit of nostalgia. For many of us that means after school evenings spent with hours upon hours of Street Fighter on the SNES, or summers at the local arcade, escaping from the hot sun in the neon lights and digital screens. The Harow Arcade Sofa lets you fully indulge in your nostalgia while still maintaining its functionality as a piece of furniture.
The early 1990s brought with it a wave of nostalgia for arcade games with the release of Street Fighter II. The advancement of this major player in the game also paved the way for other popular fighting genre vehicles like Pit Fighter by Atari, Mortal Kombat by Midway Games, Killer Instinct by Rare, and Virtua Fighter by SEGA. This era was the highlight for the gaming industry and in hindsight is remembered as an art form.
The Arcade Sofa is a celebration of that era. Constructed out of recycled wood, steel, and velvet, its seat and base form the silhouette of an arcade style game. Each sofa is designed and handmade in Paris and can be produced in homage to a number of different video games, from the rising sun imagery and Chinatown signs of the Street Fighter sofa, to the neon pinks and aquas of Grand Theft Auto‘s Vice City. From Spongbob, to Buzz Lightyear, to Hello Kitty, to Jurassic Park, you can indulge in your favorite entertainment franchise through one of Harow’s whimsical designs, or simply dream up your own which the company can produce for you.
