The basic idea for the design of the the Marshmallow Sofa was an industrial series production of the round cushions. As this production could not take place as originally planned, the cost of manufacturing the sofa was significantly higher than budgeted, so that sales figures at that time fell far behind expectations. Nevertheless, the Marshmallow Sofa quickly achieved the status of a modern classic.
