The Solar System Chair is the perfect fit for any hip and modern home (or an office like Trend Hunter). The intergalactic design of this truly bizarre piece of seating was thought up by designer Alan Eagle.
Four red velvet spheres make up a seat cushion, back and arm rests and double as the planets that orbit the sun.
Want this wicked chair? Sorry, so does everyone else, because it's all sold out.
Implications - The Solar System Chair is an absolutely brilliant concept that teaches kids the basics about the solar system while also serving the functional purpose of being a chair. I would love to own one of these for my home.
