apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I don't see anything really new about these if they are actually inflatables as they look - who knows they may be made of solid material just imitating the inflatable furniture look. A Swedish designer Jan Dranger has been designing inflatable furniture for IKEA and Muji for many years. The earlier models had a rather weak valves causing air to escape but the newer modular air-tanks are very durable, an air element is rated to 100kg and a sofa uses four of them. There are also toys, ottomans and matress using the similar Polythene air tanks and are not to be confused with those PVC swimming-pool chairs which easily puncture and produces toxic fumes when burnt.
