The Lift-Bit is a piece of customizable furniture whose only limits are your imagination. Designed by Carlo Ratti for the furniture company Vitra, the Lift-Bit can transform itself into any shape with the swipe of an iPad screen.

Gizmodo reports that the shape-shifting sofa is made up of a series of hexagonal stools mounted on motorized actuators that can be raised or lowered using an app. The customizable stools can be ordered by the piece: While you can’t do too much with a single stool, two can be used to make a chair, and a cluster can be transformed into a love seat, couch, bed, or a unique structure of your own invention.
