Up the wall

The Disney rendition of Beauty and the Beast depicted a world where household furniture danced, sang and created all sorts of mischief. We've never seen a couch climb a wall in real life, though designer Lila Jang's Canape sofa comes close.

Made to sit in the corner of a room, a 90-degree bend in the middle of the couch leaves 3 feet resting on the floor and 3 feet against a wall, as if it were beginning an ascent on the vertical surface.
