At first glance, the Odyssey Lounge Chair looks like a woman's shoe. In fact, it looks like a artistic 3D printed heel, something that Lady Gaga or any other daring fashionista would wear. Nevertheless, it is actually a seat that hugs the contours of one's body beautifully.
Created by Singaporean designer Alvin Huang, the Odyssey Lounge Chair is a minimalist piece of furniture that would have a huge futuristic impact on just about any home. Made entirely out of fiberglass, the Odyssey Lounge Chair is a stunning sculptural seat that would easily become the centerpiece of a living space. It shows how much people are craving unique, modern furniture that has more of an artistic presence than other cookie-cutter pieces of home decor.
