Online Retailer Rakuten has been selling out of this product: the Bread Chair. Really, novelty furniture just doesn’t get any better than this.
Soft and plush, the Bread Chair was made to have a similiar consistency and thickness to real Japanese bread. It has been apparently so popular that Rakuten has actually sold out of the toasty creation (as InventorSpot puts it, they’re “fresh out”). Too bad, but I think I’ll live. Now, what would really get me is if they actually made it smell like freshly baked bread!
