The result is funny, quirky, and a bit of a jolt. We can't quite tell from the photo if the air-filled back and seat are see-through, with no wood backing. But if so, we like this even more.
Ack! I think it's horrible.

Just because you can do it, does not mean you should do it.

Agreed with RedShoes. They took a perfectly nice chair and ruined it by giving it tacky plastic cushions? Why would anyone want that?

It looks like those tacky plastic protective covers which reminds me of the Florida suburbs in the 60s and 70s -- my childhood. Way too scary.

I think it's neat.

Those would last about 30 seconds before one of my cats snagged a claw. I smell disaster.

At least you can sit in it without (hopefully) injuring yourself... unlike a previous chair post.

I think it's pretty nifty. To me, this is an elaboration of the Ghost Chair with its use of materials to counterbalance the heavy, traditional silhouette with actual light being reflected through the cushions. I'm not sure I'd put it in my own home, but it does have a value as innovative design.

i like it! but it would be cool if the little blow-holes could be in the chair back and under the seat so it would have more of a seamless look. perhaps the inflation points are part of the look or novelty, but i think they would detract from comfort and groovy smoothness.
bonus: it's the perfect chair for your inflatable doll friend...
