About the Reversible Bikini Lounger

Apparently this is the first ever chair that Gutzz produces. The chair is yet in preproduction phase.

Gutzz Logo
Gutzz Claims:

A reversible reclining chair. It looks so simple, but crazily enough no one has ever thought of it before. Top architect and designer Wiel Arets together with Gutzz has managed to come up with a uniquely shaped chair on which you can lie on your back or on your front to sun yourself. Courage and innovative thinking have gone into this magnificently designed, extremely comfortable and ergonomic chaise longue upholstered in luxury fabric.

I dare to claim that there are more reversible designs around. See for instance the Chair 777.
