Would you sit in this chair? That's what AT reader, Pixie, asks about the Gravity Chair, spotted over at Gizmodo. The chair, from Stokke, lets you lean back, way back, forward, way forward, etc. Looks like fun, but what about the $2310 price tag? (thanks for the tip, Pixie!) -regina
only with a seat belt and a crash helmet.
I think it looks fun :) But then I've also grown up in another chair from Stokke: The TrippTrapp, shown here (in my name) in turqoise. Come to think of it, I believe all children in Norway grow up with these. :)
My evil side thinks too many designers have too much time on their hands.....my more civilized side thinks it would be fun to sit in (aren't you really lyiing down?) if I could figure out how to get in and out of it.
The guy in the photo - would he be there to help? I could be swayed toward the civilized side of me.
Someone I know ordered one of these after a surgery (he wasn't allowed to lie flat for about a month afterward, I don't remember why, so he got this to sleep on) and he said the nights he spent on this sucker he got the best sleep of his life. So, there's that.
natalucci, I wonder if that person's health insurance kicked in for that.
Jackie called it: that chair is a RECLINER stripped of the traditional ugly, puffy, beer-and-TV-remote upholstery. (And minus the adjustment mechanism, it seems.)
Just the thing to go in front of the flat screen, high-definition TV, especially if the TV is in the fashionable but high over-the-fireplace position.
thanks. i am now in love with this chair.
i want to marry it and have a litter of tiny well-balanced stools.
