Sofa Delle Muse

(Photo by Flickr user mindfieldz.)

Last year, I told you about Jason's unsuccessful quest to find the World's Longest Sofa. Now Amy & Jeff have also returned from Italy without finding it.

Is it all some sort of elaborate hoax? Actually, it turns out that there is indeed a sofa, but it has moved around a bit. The red leather couch, made by Italy-based Industrie Natuzzi, consists of 50 cow hides and measures a total of 250 square meters. The company has put it on display at several places, including Milan, Bologna and Florence.

The Sofa delle Muse is actually in the U.S. right now, appearing at the Wyndham Championship golf tournament in Greensboro, NC.

Striking distance! As the sofa discoverers of Florence, we strongly recommend that all of you previous sofa-skeptics get to NC for group reclining. JSJ&K

Perhaps I can track down someone who does media for the Wyndham Championship and ask where the sofa will be headed next.

The Sofa Delle Muse is currently in High Point, NC, safe and sound, though not on display. It narrowly missed being stolen last year when a ring of furniture theives were working in High Point last year.
