Via Lattea is an attractive and avant-garde air-filled sofa collection which glows in the dark. Created by Mario Bellini for Meritalia, 'Via Lattea' is filled with transparent bubbles of pure air and astral or sidereal light. It's also made of recycled fibers.
The Meritalia site says, "[Via Lattea] is a project that goes against the general trend and is in constant evolution, based on the use of substances and materials that are alien to the traditional world of padded furniture." Check out some more outrageous and glow-in-the-dark furniture below.
