bepsf 100% custom - Not only would you need an upholsterer to make the seating for you, but an architect to design a house capable of having a round, sunken 1970's style conversation pit in the floor.

I just had to throw this groovy conversation pit in here. I've been trying to compile conversation pit images but I'm having trouble finding a lot of them here - if you have any links to images, please let me know in the comments section!
added by Audrey Mast to Mod Pods: Space-Age Decorating Comes Down to Earth
Nothing is more '60s mod than a conversation pit. Designed by Roger Hirsch Architects for a Chicago townhouse, this swingin' space-age round lounge is recessed into the floor –– not an easy feature to replicate, but the groovy tulip tables and lucite chairs are affordable (and versatile) luxuries.
added by Becky Harris to The Conversation Pit, from Fallingwater to the Present
This is a fabulous retro space that is true to the sunken conversation pits of the sixties. Often times, circular pits like this one would surround a funky fireplace.
added by Becky Harris to Circular Reasoning: Add Feng Shui Unity and Harmony to Your Space
Of course, circular conversation pits inspire the most interaction between the people sitting in it.
added by Kathryn to Round Couches and Semi-Circle Sofas
This is my favorite circular sofa. It's a full circle except for the staircase entrance. What a great place for a party!
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to Brilliant Solution: The Curved Sofa
Sometimes a curved sofa can just be for fun. What a great spot this would be for a party!

The first time I saw a conversation pit was in a James Bond movie in the '70s. To this day this is my idea of a perfect entertaining layout.

It may not be something you'd want in your own living room, but nothing catches the eye like a 60's inspired recessed conversation pit. I think it's not just the colours that make this photograph so bold, but the textures as well.
