About the Reversible Bikini Lounger

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

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.

Sand and Birch: Softpipe Lounger

The Sofpipe Lounger

If you look at this chair, seating on it is as if you are going to take place on the lap of an elegantly long legged lady. I featured Sand and Birch earlier with their Velvet Sofa. They are Trendhunters (albeit with a typo in their port folio which is named: “Snadbirch”) like yours truly.

In August 2007 ABC News featured The New Mile-High Club: Forget the Hotel Room and described various new luxury airplane seats from various Airlines for their business class and first class passengers.

Chair 777

Chair 777 is a very clever design. With a twist of your arm you can use it to sit, relax or lounge.

It’s made from recyclable cardboard by the German artists/designer collective Die Fabrik which means The Factory. Its members are probably located in Wuerzburg [in a prior version I had mentioned Berlin, apparently erroneously].
