It doesn't seem very practical as furniture - there's a big hole in the middle. Actual sofas can be moved in three dimensions, so can be more usefully shaped.

It might not be awful if it came with a matching coffee table for the middle section.

Even better - a detachable ottoman. It fills the hole when you want a sofa, and becomes a footrest when you don't.

Is there a 3 dimensional variant? Or n-dimensional?

Only found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/6hui9p/is_the_sofa_mo...

I suppose you could have a sofa that your corkscrew around the corner?
