Sitting in a chair modeled after a starfish doesn't sound very comfortable -- unless that chair is the Tipsy Star from designer Alexander Matveyev. This chair has a titanium frame with built-in hinges that allow it to bend and twist at odd angles.
The Tipsy Star is an example of transforming furniture done right. The Tipsy Star can take several different forms, each with its own function. Never again will I question the comfort of starfish-inspired furniture.
