Most lounge chairs are driven by the human tendency for escapism, and by that loic the new P38 Chair from Owen Edwards is no different. Yet, we are quite taken by the creativity of this fresh furniture design graduate who has given us a great way to curl up like a baby and forget all our worries of the world. That is just what the rocker-shaped P38 chair lets you do thanks to its all ergonomic interiors.

The cocoon shape that appeals to our modern interior decoration sensibilities has been painted in high quality white gloss paint (the one that is used on cars) while the interiors have been done in black leather. The contrast is aesthetically very pleasing.

We are told that the gorgeous base is really a bent plywood form that has been shaped by hand (now, this makes it very rare). And the name P38 cmes from the body filler that gives this chair its delicious curves. Being hand made, the chair has a huge price tag that reads $6,340. But like we said, the  flowing curves make a perfect addition to your ultra modern home style.

PacMan was one of those old arcade games that was popular with all ages and has remained popular over the years. Even now, in the age of complex 3D games, people often choose to relax after a hard day with a simple game of PacMan.

Such classic games just never die and if you’re feeling nostalgic then you may want to get yourself the PacMan Chair. Looking just like the eternal eater in its traditional bright yellow with mouth gaping open, the PacMan chair invites you to sit down and go back to a time when things were much simpler.

The Pacman Chair was designed by Joe Jorge Hinojosa and will make you feel like you’ve been transported into a video game and PacMan is ready to gobble you up! This looks like a concept at the moment, but if it becomes a real product I hope we would be able to adjust the top portion of the chair so PacMan’s mouth opens and closes. That way, you can lock up whoever is sitting on the chair and hope it swallows them up!

Now there are many of us who do not necessarily have the money to afford a family vacation this season to some exotic location. And there still are others who despite having the required moolah prefer to stay indoors and holiday while lazying and lounging in the pool all day. After all, this too is a great way to spend time and bond with your family.

All that said, you’d agree that some pool party seating arrangement would definitely make things much more fun. There is a cool new pool party set available in the market which includes a dining table complete with four chairs that are comfy, rust-proof and powder-coated on the aluminum frames for an original luster than isn’t affected by prolonged exposure to water and the UV rays.

Along other things, the table features padded feet as a measure to protect your pool floor. The complete set will cost you $799. But we think it’s a justified price one has to pay for a thing that will last you a lifetime of fun and frolic.

Lounging is a favorite leisure activity with many of us. Perhaps that is one reason why researchers and developers never really let go of an opportunity to incorporate new advancements in the already existing piece of furniture that we lovingly call the lounge. SMART Lounge is one such relaxation system that is based on a non-medical vibration system which provides audio and tactile stimulation to the mind and body.

Technology like Vibroacoustics (it is related to hearing sound vibrations through the body) has been used in the SMART Lounge to relax your mind and body into a meditative state. This results in a decreased muscle tension, lowered heart rate and blood pressure as well as brings about a deeper breathing pattern that calms you sense and keeps you in a good mood.

The success of SMART Lounge can be seen in the fact that it has been used in hospitals and clinics all around the world. In fact, the REST Audio Sound Software of the lounge gets the support of many health experts. Recently, it’s been discovered that the SMART Lounge can bring in temporary relief for symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The makers have decided on an introductory price of $1,495.

If you have ever been wheel-chaired by providence or by choice, you will know how useful a brain-controlled and mind-controlled wheelchair can be, almost dream-like. University of Zaragoza in Spain has developed a prototype of such a chair that could make lives a zillion times easier for wheelchair users.

Using a P300 neurophysiological protocol and automated navigation, this wheelchair requires an EEG cap to be worn on the user’s head.

A screen in front of him or her gives the user real-time visualization of the surroundings on the screen and concentrates on the space he wants to navigate to.

This is how it works: The EEG detects your location, transmits it to the automated navigation system, which then propels the chair to the right spot, avoiding any possible hurdles en route. After choosing the location, the user can relax while the chair does all its work.

Details of commercial availability of this wheelchair are not know, but it has got a favourable response from five participants who tested it for visual interface designs, virtual environment driving, and driving sessions with the wheelchair.
