fandango.

The Fandango is the perfect sectional for you if you have one of those nice round conversation pits...or you just have a lot of room and want a cool bit of furniture. As you can see from the inset images, this baby is reconfigurable and even comes with an ottoman that can turn the whole affair into a giant eye-like thing.
