Hovering Chair Unveiled at 'Stuff Live' Gadget Show

by Lee Bains on October 30, 2008 at 02:39 PM



We've heard about the tech chair, the mouse chair, and the laziest chair of all time, but even those designs are a little too down-to-earth for us. Fortunately, this weekend, the British tech show 'Stuff Live' will introduce a hovering lounge chair called the Lounger, News.com.au reports.

There are certainly more appealing gadgets and interactive displays offered at Stuff Live, but the Lounger really captures our imagination. Keith Dixon, the man who invented this piece of futuristic furniture, cited 'Star Wars' as the inspiration for the Lounger, which floats with the help of high-powered magnets. According to a spokesman from Stuff Live, reclining on the chair creates the feeling of lying back on a cloud.

If you were to purchase this chair, you might really need that kind of atmospheric relaxation to calm your nerves after paying its high price tag. Economy be damned, the Lounger will run you a cool $14,741. [From: News.com.au]
