Giant Scorpion Inspired Reclining PC Immersion Rig

Posted on by

Scorpions: they can be deadly. And this chair looks like it could be too. Introducing the IW-SK ‘Cool Scorpion’ reclining computer workstation from Cluvens Cockpits. It’s a PC rig that looks like a giant steel scorpion and reclines so you can relax at maximum levels while becoming fully immersed in your computing experience. Or losing at Call of Duty and rage-quitting like I will be.

The IW-SK costs $3,699 and includes free shipping in the continental United States. It takes an hour or two to assemble, weighs 352-pounds, and features a push-button control to lower up to three monitors (not included) in front of you. It also includes electronic control of its recline function to 128-degrees (aka “zero gravity”), all the way down to 170-degrees. Most importantly, it features cup holders in its armrests.

As much as I do want one (and I want one badly), I’m not sure I’d even be able to fit an IW-SK in my office without tearing down a wall. Then tearing down another wall. Then another and another until I’m just outside praying there isn’t a thunderstorm coming.

One chair, two chair, double-sided blue chair…

The unique appeal of the Turning Chair by Insu Kim is that it’s a comfortable lounger as well as a bar-stool. This creative take on seating relies on a form that can be flipped 90° to completely change its function! When in orientation A, the Turning Chair is a comfortable low-lying lounger with a reclining backrest, perfect for your living room… but thanks to its angular rear legs, the chair can be flipped backwards to turn it into a high-seated bar-stool that fits rather suitably in your kitchen. Plus, get this… the chair’s form is stackable too! What a space-saving shape-shifting seater!

The Turning Chair is a winner of the K-Design Award for the year 2019.

Massaud Canopy Lets You Escape into Your Own Little World

Posted on by

The Massaud Canopy isn’t the first piece of furniture that was created for individuals who wanted the option to hide away from the outside world at will. Remember the Abri-Boca Living Pod?

While the pod is more for home use, you can set up the Massaud Canopy is a variety of location, like your room or den and even your office.

It looks like a typical mod lounge chair, until you pull the hood down and disappear into your own little world – at least until someone comes along and brings you back to the real world by pushing the hood back up again.

Aside from the hood, the Canopy comes equipped with built-in LED lighting, a removable pillow insert so you can get comfy, and Bluetooth connectivity for your audio. Aside from extra privacy, the drop-down hood also improves acoustics so you can enjoy watching movies, concerts, or TV shows while in the seat. The Canopy is an optional accessory for Massaud’s Work Lounge, a comfy chair with a built-in work surface.

The Massaud Canopy was recently displayed at NeoCon 2013 in Chicago. It was designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Coalesse and is described as “a revolutionary step forward in communication and space utilization.”

It’s expected to be available for purchase sometime in 2014.
