Hoverit's Limited Edition Floating Lounger

Do you have a favorite comfy chair? One that you can sink into and suddenly all your stresses seem to float away? Well Hoverit, a British company, is introducing their latest in stress relieving and lounging technology: The Limited Edition Lounger. The concept is that you'll feel like you're floating on air because you will actually be floating on air...in a sense. Powerful magnets set to repel each other make the lounger feel like a big comfy hoverboard, and as an added benefit the magnets may also help with various health issues.

The chair may look cool in a futuristic and techie way, but other than the "floating" part it hardly looks cool in a comfortable way. Why are they so anti-cushion?

Not sure what this beauty costs, but I'm willing to bet it's more than your average furniture mart recliner chair.

Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

You can spend all kinds of time and energy decorating your bedroom with accessories and accents to get a look that makes a statement, or you could just get a bed like this Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed. Its design leaves it looking like it's floating, supported only by the one side. It's constructed of metal with soft leather upholstery and is available in five colors and two sizes.

It's so simple it will blend well into many different styles of decor, although I think it will look best when not surrounded by a lot of clutter or detail. $5,456

The Float Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Just float. Doesn't that sound awesome? Especially at the end of a long stressful day when you're getting ready for bed. The Float is a bed from Max Longin furniture design, and it's based on the concept of a "central point of rest to which everything leads in a pliable and soft way." It moves when you move, and no matter where you sleep it balances itself. It's very simple, organic, and peaceful looking, although choice of bedding is critical as it could easily lose its appeal if buried in blankets.

And to make things even better the bed ecologically dismantles and forms its own transportation case. $6,200-$7,600

Smoke Table

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

With gray smoked glass on the top and clear glass at the base of the legs, the Smoke Table lives up to its name because it does appear to float in mid-air. It is a low coffee table, only 15.75-in. off the ground, but that doesn't take away from the dramatic effect that it has on a room. This piece would look best in a fairly modern room, perhaps one without too much extraneous furniture, to maximise its visual impact. Price: $1,794.

Pool Lanterns

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

These floating pool lanterns from Horchow will look equally good on a warm summer night and a cool winter one as they cast ethereal reflections across any water's surface. They have the shape of a "traditional" lamp and a refined look, but each one is a single piece, measuring 9" across rising 9.5" above the water, though the lamps are actually 21.5" long, overall. The lamps get their glow from a rechargeable light bulb, which will glow for up to 8 hours at a time, and can move about freely, unconstrained by wires or another power system. Chargers for the light bulbs are sold separately. Price: $399 each.

$1.5 Million Floating Bed

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets

We've seen a few interesting beds lately, but the basic design of a bed doesn't vary too much from one to another; a frame and a mattress are standard. If you really want to have something different, maybe the magnetic bed designed by Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars is for you. The one-of-a-kind bed floats above the ground, anchored with a few tethers, can support up to 900kg and costs $1.5 million. The only catch is that it doesn't look that comfortable, but hard, flat things are good for the back, right?
