I think I like this
Smile recliner more just because it has such a cheerful name, plus the design brings to mind visions of breezy summer days relaxing in a hammock. Created by David Trubridge, the
Smile recliner is made to rock (obviously) and is suitable for indoors or out. Although not probably something good to have around children (it looks a little too tempting to try and rock over), this looks perfect to me for an open or enclosed porch, preferably by the seashore (I wish!). A fitted futon cushion is optional, as is an oil finish.
Human Touch calls the HT-7450 the world's first zero-gravity massage chair claiming that it basically helps to defy the effects of gravity. It reclines deeply with the back, seat and footrest moving in synchronization to position the body for massage comfort. From there it massages the neck, back and legs. It has an adjustable headrest, a detection system that scans the back and creates a map of individual pressure points. There is an eight-point seat massage system as well as a foot and calf massager and two lumbar head modules. It is being exhibited at CES and has been chosen as a Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award honoree in the Furniture product category. It sells for $3999.
