The Central Perk sofa is "going places!" So, take a seat, friends, as Warner Bros. Television Group celebrates the 25th anniversary of Friends by inviting you and your BFFs to snap a pic on the iconic three-seater. The must-see, comfy conversation starter will be found in some of the world's most-talked about destinations, starting with the Grand Canyon (see accompanying photo), and continuing to the Empire State Building, London's Tower Bridge, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and countless others, now through the end of September 2019.

Fans attending New York's Tribeca TV Festival on September 13 to see series executive producers David Crane, Marta Kauffman and Kevin Bright discuss the landmark comedy series should also keep a lookout for their Insta-worthy sofa moment. In addition, the sofas will host filmmakers and talent at the Toronto International Film Festival (as part of Variety's Photo Studio) and the Venice International Film Festival (as part of Elle Italia's photo studio). And, of course, the iconic orange couch will also be on display at the Friends Pop-Up Experience in New York City.

To launch the Friends 25th Couch Tour, the Central Perk sofa made initial appearances at the Grand Canyon (also celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service) and at Stonehenge (no doubt celebrating a much older anniversary!).
