This was posted by someone else at Mini Mania - but no answer so far and I also want to know so I will paraphrase his/her question:
Glaxo-Smith Kline has a commercial on TV now for some drug that helps restless leg syndrome and there is a reallly cool looking lime green or chartreuse reclining chair in the commercial. Anybody out there know who makes the chair? Scooperman

Just when I thought I was so unique and full of good taste. I think that is the main cache about this amazing chair. It isn't out there anywhere. I can now quit lusting after that which I cannot have. It is time to let go of the fantasy of those peaceful, restorative, meditative moments spent with eyes closed, reclined at the perfect angle in the most beautiful chair with my back saying aaahhhhh. Oh well. Unless...
Just as so many have done...I sprang to the computer after seeing the ad. What beautiful lines that chair has! Classical lines of clean and simple elements. So unlike any other recliner I have seen to date. I'd like one too!
The difference is I have a professional interest in the chair and can make it happen. I am a chair designer with some 30 years experince. I was so interested because I am designing a reclining mechinism at this time for one of my chair designs.
Research showed that just as Glasco stated it is a "concept" chair. As it is pictured it can not recline; a person would have to climb and crawl to get into the chair. Great for ads, but not so for living rooms.
With so much interest in the ad concept I have decided to develop a simulair chair using my reclining mechinism. The first step is to build a 3-D computer model of the new design. Accurate to thousandths of an inch, this proves the design will work and shows how it will really look. This is done and I am very happy with the results!
If I have interested you, I will be happy to tell you more and show you the models. I can be reached at CriquiFurniture@yahoo.com The first chair will be availble in 8 weeks. To make sure it fits in will be available in three sizes and custom!
Sorry to go on and on, but chairs are my life.

well i'm glad to know i'm not alone in my quest, but am certainly disappointed that THE CHAIR doesn't really exist...it's FABULOUS!
please let me know when someone finally responds to the obvious market demand...!
OK-I'm just another Requip chairaholic posting my keen desire for great design at a reasonable price. I can't figure out why after two years of people begging for it, this design has yet to materialize. As far as the reclining mechanism, it appears to be similar to the zero gravity chairs...come on, furniture designers! Get with the program! Build us this chair and we will come in droves with $$!!
Please contact me when it becomes available!

I stopped by Lazy Boy and they didn't know what I was talking about.

I have been looking for this chair for a wile now. I even carry a magazine picture on my purse at all times. This is bigger than the i-phone frenzy. We do not care about how the ad makes the chair look like it reclines, NO, we only care about finding someone that will make our dream come true.
I've tried to find Anthony Criqui to no avail. He said he could make this chair, mechanism and all , for us. Where are you Anthony?????
I have wanted this chair for years - I thought for sure I would be able to find out who makes it by going to google. I can't beleive with all of these inquiries that it's not being made by someone...ARGGHHH!!!!

While we do not carry the exact chair you are all looking for, many of our recliners look similar to the Requip chair. I have pasted a link to the chair that I think best replicates this chair. Relax The Back has over 115 stores nationwide so most of you could walk into a store a try the chair out.

Love the chair! Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions. And the search continues into 2008...
Well, I'm flabbergasted! And I now know I'm not alone. This chair looks very comfy and I'd love to try it out. Can't believe no one is marketing this chair! We should let Oprah in on this search. If anyone can bring this to reality she can. I vote we contact Oprah!
Any one else?
I too am a member of the elusive chair cult and as I am an ironworker by trade,I am going to design it myself.Any imput will be greatly appreciated.
I want the chair. I need the chair. I see no comments since 2008. Has anyone found the chair?
