If you want to feel like a Jedi master with seating that has two lightsabers seemingly floating at your sides, then you may want to consider purchasing this Interlux armchair.
Made out of plexiglas, the Interlux armchair was designed by Manfred Kielnhofer and it certainly takes the trophy of being the brightest chair idea to come along in awhile, with it's two fluorescent tubes embedded into the chair.
If you're planning on getting one of these light up chairs, you better be ready to pay the price tag of $2,500.
Implications - As North American society becomes increasingly saturated with similar products, consumers are losing their sense of individuality. As such, many of them are willing to pay higher premiums in order to enjoy exclusivity. Corporations looking to generate more revenue may consider producing less of their wares and promoting the items as one-of-a-kind.
